Gerald Hugh Micklem CBE (14 August 1911 – 21 May 1988) was an English amateur golfer and administrator.[1] He played in four Walker Cup matches between 1947 and 1955 and was non-playing captain in 1957 and 1959.
Micklem had limited success as a golfer before World War II, but gained an Oxford blue for golf and reached the final of the 1936 Addington Foursomes. He gained national attention when he reached the semi-final of the 1946 Amateur Championship and won the English Amateur. He played in the Walker Cup four times and won the English Amateur for a second time in 1953. Micklem later acted as a golf administrator and chaired various committees at The Royal and Ancient Golf Club of St Andrews (R&A). He was captain of the R&A in 1968 and received the Bob Jones Award in 1969 and the Walter Hagen Award in 1970. He was awarded a CBE in the 1969 New Year Honours.
