Merion Golf Club

Paula Kelly, CCM, CCE is a 1992 cum laude graduate from the University of Delaware Hotel, Restaurant & Institutional Management Program and has spent her career in club management.  She is currently the General Manager/COO of Merion Golf Club in Ardmore, PA.  Merion has been host to more USGA Championships than any course in America and is home to some of its greatest moments. From Robert Tyre Jones, Jr.'s completion of golf’s elusive Grand Slam at the 1930 U.S. Amateur to Ben Hogan’s awe-inspiring performance and now legendary one-iron on the 72nd hole during the 1950 U.S. Open, the sculpted greens, fairways and treacherous bunkers of Merion have shaped the game.  Most recently host to the 2013 U.S. Open, Merion continues to challenge the world’s best golfers, has recently undergone a historic restoration of the famed East Course, and will be host to the 2022 Curtis Cup and 2026 U.S. Amateur.
