John Inglis was slight of stature but had an incredible role in the development and evolution of the Metropolitan PGA Section.  Inglis was a charter member of the PGA as well as the Golf Course Superintendents Association.  He served as the head professional at Fairview Country Club for over 50 years and was the President of the Metropolitan PGA for over 30 years, from 1928 until 1959.  While Inglis was noted more for his administrative skills and leadership than his playing, he mentored and helped shape the future of a number of great players in the Met Section including the seven Turnesa brothers, Johnny Farrell and Tony Manero.
