The Dean of Golf Photographers Receives a New PGA of America Award

LEONARD KAMSLER. MAYBE YOU'VE NEVER HEARD THAT NAME.

Kamsler is a different kind of golf legend. A golf photographer whose "shots" were as pure as Ben Hogan's.

[T]he "Dean of Golf Photographers," as Kamsler has come to be known. From his first assignment for Golf Magazine in 1959 (shooting a caddie camp) to 40 straight years covering the Masters to sessions with the top players and personalities in the game over the past five decades, Kamsler always got the picture. On Tuesday [January 14], the PGA of America announced that Kamsler, 84, will receive its inaugural Lifetime Achievement Award in Photojournalism.
