The Herb Graffis Businessperson of the Year Award, given annually since 2012, is named in honor of Golfdom’s founder, World Golf Hall of Fame member Herb Graffis. Graffis was one of the first people to think of golf as a business when he and his brother Joe founded Golfdom in 1927. With his vision, Graffis helped advance the game in numerous ways, from founding the National Golf Foundation and the Club Management Association of America to his work advocating on behalf of superintendents and elevating their profile. It is with all due respect that we present this award in Mr. Graffis’ honor.(Photo: Mark McCormick)
