Welcoming Walker Hill - Metropolitan Golf Foundation
St. Louis, MO - The Metropolitan is thrilled to welcome Walker Hill as the new Executive Director of the Metropolitan Golf Foundation. In this role, Walker will lead the fundraising and programming efforts of the Metropolitan Golf Foundation. He will be dedicated to furthering the core principles of the foundation with focus on the completion of Normandie Reimagined and the future of junior golf programs in the Metropolitan region.
A native of St. Louis—specifically Webster Groves—Walker graduated from Westminster Christian Academy in 1998. His golf journey started on public courses all over St. Louis, leading him to Carson-Newman University on an athletic scholarship, and then to a 14-year career with the American Junior Golf Association (AJGA), where he served as Vice President of Operations and Vice President of Development.
In 2017, Walker returned to St. Louis, dedicating his efforts to underserved communities through leadership roles at Sunshine Ministries and most recently Good Shepherd Children & Family Services. With a passion for golf and a heart for community service, Walker is excited to lead Normandie Reimagined into its next chapter. Walker and his wife Katie have six children and currently reside in Columbia, IL.
Walker looks forward to connecting with the golf community in the area and the difference we can make together through the Metropolitan Golf Foundation. With sights set on the future and the continual growth of the game for generations to come, Walker is ready to lead the Metropolitan Golf Foundation forward.

The Metropolitan Golf Foundation is the philanthropic arm of the Metropolitan Amateur Golf Association. The Foundation is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization, set to promote junior golf and the accessibility of the game for youth in the Metropolitan region. Support is provided to youth focused golf programming throughout the area. At this time, the Metropolitan Golf Foundation leads the Normandie Reimagined project, which will lead to opportunities for youth of the community to get involved in the game at Normandie Golf Club in North St. Louis.
About Normandie Reimagined: The Metropolitan Golf Foundation (MGF), in connection with Beyond Housing, leads the restoration of the Normandie Golf Course into a Jack Nicklaus Signature Golf Course, under the personal guidance of Jack Nicklaus and Nicklaus Design. The purpose of this effort is not just about the saving of a historic golf course, but the retaining and reenergizing of a community asset in North St. Louis county. Moreover, simultaneously and collaboratively, we will be providing service opportunities, jobs, education, and community initiatives… hence the goal to “REIMAGINE” the course, the club, and the region. Normandie Reimagined will be a beacon for progress and social change...education, experience, and employment!
