Long-Time Columbia Country Club Golf Pro Selected For Hall Of Fame

CHEVY CHASE, MD — Bob Dolan, who recently retired after 27 years as the PGA head professional at Columbia Country Club in Chevy Chase, has been selected for the Middle Atlantic Section of the PGA of America (MAPGA) Hall of Fame Class of 2023.

Dolan was an active member of the MAPGA, serving as its president in 2002-2003. He was selected as the recipient of the PGA’s National Youth Player Development Award in 2000 and the National Bill Strausbaugh Award in 2011.

Dolan was the chair when the MAPGA started its Junior Tour in 1998. He started the first MAPGA Employment Summit, which branched out to MAPGA chapters due to its success.

In December, Columbia Country Club announced Steve Delmar as its new head golf professional, replacing Dolan.
