A Message from Chairman Fitzgerald:
"Welcome to the Induction Ceremony for the second Class of the Maryland Golf Hall of Fame. Established in 2019, the Maryland Golf Hall of Fame was created to recognize and enshrine men and women who, as Maryland natives or residents at their time of achievement, have impacted Maryland golf and/or have made extraordinary contributions to the game through competitive and non-competitive accomplishments.
Tonight, we honor ten legendary contributors to the game of golf in Maryland. They are professionals, amateurs, men, women, administrators, philanthropists, and journalists: Mary Ann Downey Cooke, Perky Cullinane, Max Elbin, Jack Emich, Frank Emmet, Albert Houghton, Dave King, Bobby Morris, Spencer Overton, and John Stewart. We are proud to recognize their achievements and to induct them into the Maryland Golf Hall of Fame.
