The creation of the Michigan Golf Hall of Fame dates to the early 1980s. It was Ken's idea to celebrate golf's heritage in Michigan by honoring those who made the sport popular not only in our state, but nationally. Stan Aldrich, who had rebuilt the traditions of Indianwood Golf and Country Club, endorsed Ken's idea and offered support in establishing the Hall of Fame.
Ken assembled a committee to represent the players, the public and the associations dedicated to the game. Members included Jack Berry of the Detroit News, Jack Saylor from the Detroit Free Press, Barry Smades of the Oakland Press, Larry Adderley, then with WXYZ-TV, Birmingham Country Club golf professional Ray Maguire, Nancy Koustas of the Women's District Golf Association, and Jim Dewling, then president of the Michigan PGA.
