Printers' Pastimes -- Outside the Lines, II

Student of the Game

He became interested in the history of the game when he joined two friends in a sports collectibles gallery in Dallas in the 1980s—and through one of those associates, he was introduced to the Museum & Library Committee of the United States Golf Association (USGA).

Following his co-chairing one of the USGA national championships in Dallas at his home club in 1987, Padgett became much more active in Rules of Golf activities with the local USGA sectional affairs volunteers, and has since helped with the administration of the qualifying events for USGA championships in the Dallas/Fort Worth area.
