Texas Golf Hall of Fame Seeking Executive Director
San Antonio, Texas – The Texas Golf Hall of Fame today announced the creation of an Executive Director’s position, and the TGHoF is currently seeking applicants to fill this newly created post. This position will be the chief executive officer and will be responsible for day-to-day operations, long-range planning, and the success of the organization. They will develop strategies and plans to achieve the organization’s mission, as directed by the Board of Directors. The position will report to the Chairperson of the Board.
“Since 2014, the Hall of Fame has been operated by golf organizations under a management agreement. Most recently, the Alamo City Golf Trail of San Antonio has managed the organization. During Covid-19, our Board of Directors had the opportunity to engage in a long-range planning process. One of the outcomes of that planning was the conclusion that we needed a full-time executive to lead our future growth. Although we elected a class of inductees for 2020, we were forced to delay the actual induction of those individuals until this August. That delay gave us the time to plan our future”, said Reid Meyers, Board Chairman.
The TGHoF’s Executive Director job description and instructions for applying are posted on the TGHoF’s website at https://texasgolfhof.org/employment.
Last July the Hall announced its 2020 class of Inductees that are to be honored during this formal induction ceremony Monday, August 9, 2021, and will be held at the River Crest Country Club in Ft. Worth, Texas. This event is open to the public.
2020 Texas Hall of Fame Inductees:
• Professional Player: Angela Stanford
• Amateur Player: Hank Kuehne
• Lifetime Achievement: Verne Lundquist
• Golf Professional / Teacher: Mike Wright
• Golf Professional / Teacher: Dow Finsterwald, Jr.
• Texas Registry of Historic Golf Courses: Oak Hills Country Club
This will be the Texas Golf Hall of Fame’s eleventh class to be inducted since the TGHoF’s reconstitution in 2009. Public nominations made online were voted on by living Hall members, the Texas Golf Hall of Fame Board of Directors, and designated Texas golf media members. As a reminder, the Induction Dinner will take place at the historic River Crest Country Club in Ft. Worth, Texas on Monday, August 9th.
