Dick Smith, the PGA of America President from 1991-92, passed away on March 8.

“The PGA of America is heartbroken by the passing of our 27th PGA President, Dick Smith. A PGA Member since 1964 and a member of the PGA Hall of Fame, he had a great influence on our sport both as an administrator and a competitor,” said PGA President John Lindert.

"His service as President of the PGA from 1991-92 was extremely impactful on our membership, the game, and the golf industry. Our thoughts and prayers go out to the Smith family, including his wife Adrienne, daughter Stephanie, and son and Quarter Century PGA Member Dick Jr., along with his grandchildren, Alexandria, Zakary, and Marissa.”

A sterling representative of the Philadelphia PGA, Smith was a five-time Section Champion, who won more than 25 Philadelphia PGA championships during his career. He also captured the Section's Player of the Year Award six times and served as Philadelphia PGA President from 1978-1980.
