Congratulations to CEO Steve Skinner on his induction to the Illinois Golf Hall of Fame!
“While the game of golf may be the ultimate individual sport - you against the golf course - the business of golf is the ultimate team sport. So while there are no team pictures in the Hall and it will be my picture on the wall, I am pleased to accept this honor on behalf of my teammates at KemperSports, 1,500 strong in Illinois and 10,000 around the country. We, and I do mean we, are honored to be in the Illinois Golf Hall of Fame.”
