Welcome to the 13th season of the Len Ziehm on Golf website. The last few years have all been big ones, for one reason or another.
My 50th year reporting on golf was celebrated in 2018, a career that started with Jack Nicklaus’ victory in the 1968 Western Open at Olympia Fields. Also in 2018 I was honored three times at the 24th International Network of Golf Media Awards during the 65th PGA Merchandise Show at the Orange County Convention Center in Orlando, FL. I was the winner in the Competition Writing category and an Outstanding Achiever in both Competition Writing and Travel Writing.
In 2019 I was also honored with three Outstanding Achiever Awards — in Feature Writing, Competition Writing and Opinion/Editorial Writing but the highlight of the year came when I was inducted into the Illinois Golf Hall of Fame. The induction ceremony was held at The Glen Club, in Glenview, Ill.
