The criteria for RDGA Hall of Fame induction, as discussed by the RDGA Hall of Fame Nominating Committee, included:

 

  • Contributions made by a candidate contributing to the enhancement of the sport of golf through playing, teaching, coaching, maintaining/managing, educating, writing or advocating for an extended period of time.
  • Candidates must exemplify the spirit of the game of golf.
  • Achievements of candidates are sustainable over time.
  • Eligibility can also include candidates who have, by virtue of name recognition, brought honor, distinction, and/or have favorable contributions to golf in the Greater Rochester area.

 

As a result of the selection process – which continued, on and off, for nearly two years due to the COVID pandemic – the decision was made to accept a greater number of inductees for the first year of the ceremony, owing to the importance and special meaning of the inaugural class. Future induction classes may include 5 or 6 honorees.

 

Each inductee will receive a special medallion inscribed with their name during the July 12 induction ceremony – and all inductees will be introduced by individuals that are well known to the local golfing community or who have a special connection to the inductee.
