Remy, elected to the office of PGA vice president in 2006, began his career at Worcester (Mass.) Country Club, site of the first Ryder Cup played in the United States. He served as a PGA assistant professional at Worcester Country Club and Mount Pleasant Country Club, two of Massachusetts' premier private facilities. After accepting the PGA head professional position at Killington Golf Resort in Vermont in 1985, he went on to become the PGA director of golf and summer sports and eventually the PGA director of golf for the Vermont Divisions for S-K-I Ltd.

Among various awards, he was named the New England PGA Golf Professional of the Year in 1997. He has also served an unprecedented six-and-a-half year term on the National Board of Control, which reviews and rules on membership issues. He was named to the Board in 1997 to finish the term of William A. Mitchell, who passed away, and was then named to his own term in 1999.
