PGA elects Dataw member

Ted Bishop, a golf member and winter resident at Dataw Island Club in St. Helena, has been elected as secretary of the Professional Golfers Association of America. Bishop is also the director of golf at The Legends Of Indiana Golf Course in Franklin, Ind.

In being elected to the national office, Bishop is on track to become the president of the national organization, which represents more than 28,000 club professionals throughout the country. Traditionally, the officers move up every two years, meaning Bishop would become president of the organization in two years.
