The National Golf Foundation (NGF) provides golf-business research and consulting services. Founded in 1936 by golf writer Herb Graffis and his brother Joe, who nearly went bankrupt in the process, [1] its original mission was to publish authoritative research useful to investors developing the game of golf. As of 2007 it had 6000 member companies. [2]

The NGF has been delivering the Graffis Award since 1970 to highlight "outstanding contributions to the game of golf". Past winners include Ellen Jean Griffin (1970) and Gary Wiren (1978). [3]
