The presentation was made during Sport Media Canada’s Annual Awards Luncheon which celebrates the accomplishments of journalists, broadcasters, writers, photographers and executives that have impacted the sports media landscape in Canada.

Grimm was involved with Golf Canada (formerly the Royal Canadian Golf Association) from 1965-1993, serving as the president of the organization in 1974 and Director of Professional Championships for a decade from 1983-1993. Grimm, an Honorary Life Governor with Golf Canada since 1975, also acted as the chairman for the Canadian Open eight times from 1965-1985. In 1993, Grimm shifted his focus to the Canadian Tour (now PGA TOUR Canada) where he acted as the TOUR’s commissioner from 1993-1997.
