Elected in 2008 as the 36th PGA of America President, Remy became the first New England PGA Section member to ascend to the Association’s highest office. During his term, Remy promoted the essential role PGA of America Golf Professionals play throughout the industry, especially as a golf employer’s most valuable asset for economic growth and development. Remy also campaigned for improving the public’s perception of the fitness and healthy lifestyle values of the game of golf.
“Right from the beginning, I wanted to get involved,” said Remy. “I never thought I’d be president of the PGA of America, but I got to be with the most incredible PGA Professionals on the Board of Control who encouraged me to run.
“You have to pinch yourself because you don’t realize what you’ve accomplished,” he continued. “I live in a town of 1,500 people, we have one traffic light, my daughter’s graduating class was 28 and there I was as president of the PGA of America.”
