David Fay Retiring Effective December 31, 2010**

The year 2010 was memorable, personally and professionally. Personally, I turned 60 two months ago.

The golf-in-the-Olympics international structure is now in place, culminating a 20-year effort to return golf to the Olympic Games. And there is a renewed commitment to our core responsibilities which have defined the Association for 100 years: conduct national championships for women and men; write and interpret Rules and regulations (playing, equipment and handicap); and invest in the important and topical work of our Green Section programs.

Then the conversation turned to retirement.

"We were just joking about it," Mottola said Friday by phone. "And he said, 'Well, I'm definitely not planning to work until I'm 65.'"

Yesterday morning Fay made good on that promise. In a move that caught the entire golf community by surprise -- including Mottola himself -- Fay, the face of the USGA for 21 years, announced that he will be stepping down effective Dec. 31. The longtime-Summit
