Hank Clark, vice president of operations of Marlow’s Tavern and Sterling Hospitality, has been named a Trustee of the PGA REACH Georgia Foundation. PGA REACH is the charitable arm of the Professional Golf Association, providing opportunities to access the sport of golf for youth, veterans and minorities.

“We are thrilled to have Hank join us as a PGA REACH Georgia Trustee,” says Scott Geary, executive director of PGA REACH Georgia. “Trustee funding and advice is the underpinning of larger foundation development and growth of program initiatives for PGA REACH Georgia.”

Clark is no stranger to leadership in the restaurant world. He helped create the original Marlow’s Tavern concept and has led the brand as it expanded across Georgia and Florida. He also served on the board of directors of the Georgia Restaurant Association and was selected as chairman of the board in 2013 and 2021.

Clark has demonstrated a commitment to golf through his involvement with the Marlow’s Tavern Golf Classic, an annual fundraiser for Special Olympics Georgia. For more than 25 years, the tournament has raised over $1.6 million to support athletes participating in Special Olympics events.

“Hank has been a part of the Marlow’s family from day one,” says John C. Metz, CEO and co-founder of Marlow’s Tavern. “He’s a perfect fit for PGA REACH Georgia because he is passionate about bringing people together at the intersection of dining and sports.”
