Kermit Zarley

Kermit M. Zarley, Jr. (born September 29, 1941) is an American professional golfer who played on the PGA Tour and the Champions Tour. He is also an author of several books.

Zarley was born in Seattle, Washington. He attended the University of Houston and was a distinguished member of the golf team. He was both the medalist and individual champion at the 1962 NCAA Division I Men's Golf Championships as he led his team to victory.

Zarley had three dozen top-10 finishes in PGA Tour events during his 18 years on tour including two wins. His best finish in a major was a solo 6th at the 1972 U.S. Open.

In view of his unusual name, many of Zarley's colleagues on the Tour called him "Moon Man". It is because comedian Bob Hope was once remarked Fact|date=February 2007 on national television, "Kermit Zarley, with a name like that he must be the pro from the moon".

Zarley co-founded the PGA Tour Bible Study group in 1965, which still exists today. In the period between the PGA Tour and Champions Tour, he authored 3 books on religion and world affairs. He received an honorary doctorate degree in 2001 from North Park University.
