STATESBORO, Ga. – Georgia Southern men's golf alumnus Mike Davis '88 was named Alumnus of the Year in Professional Achievement by the Alumni Association at its 2017 biennial Alumni Awards luncheon on campus last Saturday.
Davis serves as executive director and CEO of the U.S. Golfing Association (USGA) – the seventh in the organization's 121-year history. He is the senior staff member of the USGA, responsible for managing all aspect of the Association's day-to-day operations, including core functions, essential programs and human and financial resources.
Working closely with the USGA president and Executive Committee, Davis provides overall strategic guidance, serves as spokesperson with internal stakeholders and external constituencies, and represents the USGA's interests within the golf community, courses and clubs, state and regional golf associations, the media, and national and international golf associations. He is also a board member of the International Golf Federation, the World Golf Foundation, Official World Golf Rankings, the World Golf Hall of Fame, and the Captains Club.
Davis graduated from Georgia Southern University in 1988 with a bachelor's degree in business administration and was a member of the University's golf team and Sigma Chi Fraternity. He was one of 10 distinguished alumni honored at the luncheon.
Davis returned to campus in the spring of 2014 for a meet and greet with the Eagle golf team. That visit was his first time on campus since 2001, and he caught his first glimpse of the Eagle golf facility, the Bennett-Ramsey House, where he spoke to the team for 50 minutes.
