Steve Braun, 76 and a Flint native, current Charlevoix resident and member of the Michigan Golf Hall of Fame, who has volunteered and served the game of golf in multiple ways for six decades, was presented with the 2021 Distinguished Service Award by the Golf Association of Michigan (GAM).
“Steve did it all as a governor, rules official, chairman of the championship committee, quintessential volunteer for the GAM and has always been an articulate spokesman for golf,” said longtime GAM governor Terry Moore. “I was so impressed when he was president of the GAM and he helped lead the Youth on Course initiative … and Steve was instrumental in leading the national award-winning Flint Junior Golf Association (FJGA).”
He almost doubled the FJGA membership from 1975-’85, worked for the American Junior Golf Association (AJGA) as a tournament director and received the AJGA’s national service honor (Digger Smith Award) in 1992.
