The Thing About Golf #39: Martin Slumbers

In the world of golf administration there is no more important role than Chief Executive of the R&A.; 

Former London-based businessman Martin Slumbers was appointed to that role in 2015 and has quietly set about evolving the culture at the organisation to something more in keeping with modern society.
