Davidson was named PGA National Merchandiser of the Year for resort courses, his third year in a row to win for the Pacific Northwest section. He was among 10 finalists for the award in 2009.

The show will air again next Saturday at 11:30 a.m.

"I'm proud and happy of all of us here at Circling Raven," Davidson said. "The exposure will, without a doubt, have great value for the resort, for Circling Raven and for the entire region. Our staff has done a great job over time, the kind of work that certainly helps create awards like this and, therefore, the attention."
