Peter Dawson - Part 2 (Business Career and Joining the R&A)

Peter Dawson, long-serving Secretary of the R&A who played an instrumental role in the return of golf to the Olympic Games, recounts his days in the commercial world in various leadership positions with industrial companies. Becoming a member of the R&A in 1994, Peter soon became involved with the Rules of Golf Committee, serving as an official in several major championships. He share a few of his favorite (and frightful) experiences on the golf course. When Michael Bonallack planned to step down from the Secretary's role at the R&A, Peter was convinced by friends to apply for the position. Listen in as he remembers the rigors of the selection process and his joy in ultimately being the last man standing. Peter Dawson begins his life of service to Golf, "FORE the Good of the Game."
