The Vermont Golf Association was organized in 1902 with seven charter members: Dorset Field Club, Ekwanok Country Club, Montpelier Country Club, Waubanakee Country Club of Burlington, Old Pine Country Club of St. Johnsbury, Mt. Anthony Country Club of Bennington, and the Rutland Country Club. The Barre Golf Club became a member in 1903.
Today, the Vermont Golf Association is the authoritative body for golf in the state of Vermont representing more than 10,600 amateur golfers and 67 golf clubs in the state.
Jim Bassett, our Executive Director for the last 27 years, has officially announced his retirement from the Vermont Golf Association as of January 1, 2011. Below is a copy of his letter:
“After 27 years as Executive Director of the Vermont Golf Association and having reached the age of 67, I have decided to retire as of January 1, 2011.
I would be willing to be of any assistance you would like to help make a smooth transition in this changing of the operations of the Vermont Golf Association.”
- Jim Bassett, Executive Director
I know that all of you would join me in wishing Jim and his wife a rewarding retirement.
Currently a job description is being formulated; after which, the position will be made available to those interested. All of the Directors will be updated throughout this process.
