There's more golf around us than ever. Here's why we need to embrace these additional forms while also creating pathways into more traditional golf.

USGA President Kevin Hammer reflects on the importance of shared stewardship in golf, emphasizing collaboration across the community to advance the sport. Recalling a personal story involving Hall of Famer Tom Watson from the 2009 Open Championship, Hammer highlights the enduring sentiment that golf is an amazing game shared by many.
Hammer notes golf's growing popularity among diverse groups and non-traditional venues like driving ranges and screen golf. He argues that while golf has evolved commercially, protecting its core values, traditions, and connection among players remains the USGA's essential priority.
