If you are interested in nominating someone for the Hall of Fame as something other than a player or coach, please do. The criteria for this would be to submit at least four letters on the nominee’s behalf from various people. These letters should explain how the nominee made contributions to high school golf in Indiana that went above and beyond and why they are deserving of being inducted into the Hall of Fame.

3. All coaches must be nominated with all completed paperwork turned in by the deadline of August 15th. If the coach is selected for induction into the Hall of Fame, the coach will choose which banquet they will be inducted in at.
