"Heinz has been a fantastic asset since he came onto the board in 1993," says chairman Sandy Jones. "Representing Germany, as one of the strongest nations, he was very important to us, bringing a truly international perspective. He certainly came with a vision for Europe in which all of the countries had to work together, and he had a better understanding of the concept of unity than many at that time."
Fehring gave the 15-year-old Langer his first job as an assistant pro at the Strasslach Club in Munich in 1972, and he was also the first pro ever to give the future double-Masters champion a lesson. Langer, who moved away from home for the first time to work for Fehring, has described him as "like a second father to me".
