    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE | December 18, 2020 CONTACT: Carter Page Office: 601.939.1131 [email protected]| www.missgolf.org MISSISSIPPI GOLF HALL OF FAME CLASS OF 2021 ANNOUNCED Four Selected to be Inducted Into Third Class of Mississippi Golf Hall of Fame (Pearl, MS) The Mississippi Golf Association is honored to announce that four individuals have been selected to be inducted into the third class of the Mississippi Golf Hall of Fame. The Mississippi Golf Hall of Fame celebrated its inaugural class in January of 2019 as it inducted James Carpenter, Cissye Gallagher, Ken Lindsay, Mike Taylor, and Robbie Webb, Sr. Earlier this year the second class of the Mississippi Golf Hall of Fame was inducted which included Eddie Merrins, Pete Brown, Mary Mills, Sam Hall, and Johnny Pott. The Mississippi Golf Hall of Fame looks to recognize those individuals who have made a profound impact on the game of golf in the Magnolia State. They feel the class of 2021 embodies the core values and honorable traditions of the game of golf. The Mississippi Golf Association and Golf Hall of Fame are honored to announce the class of 2021. We look forward to their induction which at this time is TBD due to COVID19 and the current restrictions/mandates that are in place for public safety. The Mississippi Golf Association will make an announcement when an official date is finalized for the Induction Ceremony for which will promote through our website, email, and all MGA social media outlets. We hope that at that time everyone will be able to join us for the Celebration of Golf Dinner as we will remember the tremendous year of golf for Mississippi, recognize our 2020 Champions and Players of the Year, award the Robbie Webb Award for Outstanding Contributions to Junior Golf, and unveil our 2021 Class of the Mississippi Golf Hall of Fame.
