Diana M. Murphy, of St. Simons Island, Ga., has become only the second female President of the USGA, following in Judy Bell’s footsteps.
A huge congratulations must go out to her from my blog, as I think she truly deserves the honor. She was treasurer in 2013 and vice president in 2014 and 2015. With the face of golf changing at the speed of light due to new technology, Murphy will have a challenge reigning to ensure that current golf courses remain playable for Pro competition. I think she will do a fantastic job. Thanks to Golfweek Mag for sharing!

Continuing our series of “Women at the Helm.” we are happy to announce that #4 is the future President of the USGA, Diana Murphy.
She will officially take over the post in February 2016. Diana joins Molly Soloman, Condoleezza Rice, and Suzy Waley (who incidentally is now Secretary of the USGA and could be a future President in 2019) as another honoree to our “Women at the Helm” list! Thanks to Chris Chaney, Wrong Fairway of the Back9Network, for this interesting report!
Murphy has a long and encompassing résumé that includes her current role as a USGA vice president and Executive Committee member. She chairs the Championship and Compensation committees and serves on the USGA’s Audit and Corporate Partners committees. Murphy will be the second female to lead the governing body, joining Judy Bell, who served her term as president in 1996-97.
Murphy’s husband, Reg, served as USGA president in 1994-95.
