The elite golf course superintendents in Georgia will have their own special place.
The Georgia Golf Course Superintendents Association announced it will create a Hall of Fame, and the first class will be inducted in November during the association's annual meeting and vendor fair in Atlanta. In order to spotlight the initial inductees, some of the early classes will include no more than four people each year.
"I am excited we are bringing this to fruition," said Anthony Williams, CGCS from Stone Mountain Golf Club, Georgia GCSA president, and a 14-year member of GCSAA. "It's a great way to introduce a new generation of superintendents to the forefathers who laid the path for us to do these wonderful jobs."
The Georgia GCSA Hall of Fame will have a permanent home, but you won't have to travel thousands of miles to see it. It will be a virtual experience, so you will be able to go to the association's web site (www.ggcsa.com) to experience it.
Guidelines to be considered for the Hall of Fame include a minimum of 20 years of experience in the profession, exemplary work and service to the Georgia GCSA and its members, and a background as a superintendent. Inductees will be determined by a majority vote of the Georgia GCSA board of directors.
