A Message from Chairman Brian Fitzgerald:
Good evening! and welcome to the fourth induction ceremony of the Maryland Golf Hall of Fame.
As Hall of Fame Chairman, I am excited to introduce this class of legends. They are exceptional players, administrators, and benefactors. There is a recurring theme in this class…. Their generosity of time and treasure. They are visionaries… pioneers, who, through actions and their presence, created opportunities for minorities, children, and women… locally and nationally, in this wonderful game of golf… and education.
The cost of your ticket for this evening only covers a portion of the evening’s costs. I’d like to thank our Signature Sponsors and Hole Sponsors:
