The Bob Jones Award

 The United States Golf Association (USGA) is the United States' national association of golf courses, clubs and facilities and the governing body of golf for the U.S. and Mexico. Together with The R&A, the USGA produces and interprets the Rules of Golf.

The USGA also provides a national handicap system for golfers, conducts 13 national championships, including the U.S. Open, U.S. Women's Open and U.S. Senior Open, and tests golf equipment for conformity with regulations. In addition, the USGA is a leader in turf grass research through its Green Section and it provides hundreds of grants to grass-roots programs through its Foundation in Colorado Springs, Colorado. The USGA Foundation has provided more than $59 million in grants to programs for underprivileged youth and individuals with disabilities. It is the largest contributor to The First Tee program.

The Bob Jones Award is the highest honor given by the United States Golf Association in recognition of distinguished sportsmanship in golf. The inaugural award was given in 1955. O. Gordon Brewer Jr., 71, a two-time USGA Senior Amateur champion, longtime volunteer and dedicated servant to the game of golf, has been chosen to receive the United States Golf Association's 2009 Bob Jones Award.
