Recently, as part of a massive reno-
vation of USGA headquarters in Far Hills,
New Jersey, Visual Impact was called upon
to produce and install more than 210 photo
décor pieces i n the new office space.

“It was one of the largest projects we
have ever completed,” said McCann. “We pro-
duced prints that ranged in size from 30x30
inches up to 4 feet by 8 feet. In addition to the
smaller pieces we did more than 30 murals that
can be seen throughout their facility.”

Visual Impact’s work has also improved
the look of the CSGA’s office in Rocky Hill.
Black and white images, each 10x15 inches of
Connecticut Hall of Famers from Sarazen and
Boros to recent inductees J.J. Henry and Tim
Petrovic fill a wall in the CSGA conference
room.

“Bill and his team are great to work
with,” says Moraghan. “It was nice to find a
Connecticut company with a background in
golf and a strong relationship with the USGA.
Danbury Firm Makes the USGA Look Good
W
hen CSGA Executive Director Mike Moraghan wanted to spruce up the association’s
conference room, he turned to the USGA for pictures of several Connecticut golf legends in-
cluding Gene Sarazen and Julius Boros.

“The USGA was happy to help, but for reproductions and framed photos they said we
needed to contact a group called Visual Impact,” recalled Moraghan. “It was a pleasant surprise
to discover they’re a Connecticut company based in Danbury.”

Turns out Visual Impact has been around since 1979, a small company that specializes
in custom printing, framing and graphic display. Their connection to golf and the USGA began
in 2007 when, according to Visual Impact president, Bill McCann, “We approached the USGA
about helping to set up an e-commerce solution to sell many of their historic and contemporary
images of the game online. The result was the USGA Photo Store which we continue to do the
fulfillment for today.”
