Ron's Story

Ron Read is the author of Starting the US Open: From Shinnecock to Pebble Beach. For 23 years, first at Shinnecock Hills, Ron witnessed the toughest shot in golf, the opening drive from the #1 tee of the United States Open Championship. His vantage point was up close and at times very personal. As the US Open starter, Ron formed enduring relationships with golfers, caddies, sportscasters, writers, superintendents, and many others. In Starting the US Open, he takes us inside the ropes, through clubhouse, and into the inner sanctum to bring us the stories that reveal what has made this tournament and this sport truly special in the eyes of fans and players alike. More than a great read, Starting the US Open is a great experience. "Play Away Please!"

For his entire professional career, Ron Read served the Game of Golf in various capacities starting with the Northern California Golf Association (NCGA) and then the United States Golf Association (USGA). For over 40 years Ron loved enriching lives through golf.
