Accuracy and a fine touch about the greens is the effective combination Steve Johnson has used to achieve an outstanding career over the past four decades. Johnson won the State High School title in 1966, the MGA State Amateur in 1975, MGA Players Championship in 1988-89, MGA Mid-Amateur in 1989 and the State Public Links Championship three times in 1979, 1988, and 1995. Johnson was also the MGA's first Player of the Year in 1975 and won the MGA Senior Players Championship in 2003.
A high school teacher, Johnson dedicated himself to the future of the game by coaching boy's golf for almost thirty years and also being a member of the USGA Junior Boys Committee.
