The Oklahoma Golf Hall of Fame merged with the previous Women’s Oklahoma Golf Hall of Fame in 2014. It has had induction classes in 2015, 2016 and 2017, after which the board elected to go to an every-other-year format for induction classes. The next class will be inducted in the fall of 2019 in Tulsa.
Induction classes were:
2015: Charlie Cox, Mike Holder, Perry Maxwell, Bob Dickson, Willliam Spiller
2016: Tommy Bolt, Jerry Cozby, Labron Harris Sr., Nancy Lopez. Contributors to the Game, W.K. Warren Sr., W.K. Warren Jr.
2017: Mark Hayes, Doug Tewell, Bob Tway, Ernie Vossler, Joe Walser Jr.
There is information on all of the Hall of Fame members, including highlight and induction videos, at www.oklahomagolfhof.org.
As mentioned, the Hall of Fame awards at least two scholarships annually to Oklahoma high school seniors in the amounts of $5,000 each. It also presents a $5,000 annual award to a graduating collegiate player to help start his career. That award is named for Hall of Fame founder Everett Dobson, also the co-owner of Oak Tree National.
