Virginia Golf Hall of Fame

A vision of former Virginia State Golf Association President Gib Palmer, the Virginia Golf Hall of Fame became a reality in June 2015. Though the induction of the Inaugural Class didn’t take place until nearly 11 months later, the seeds for a virtual home honoring Virginia’s golf heritage and excellence were sown long before then.

Through extensive behind-the-scenes work and collaborations with allied organizations like the Middle Atlantic Section of the PGA, the Virginia Golf Hall of Fame became a reality. The first class honors legends of playing, teaching, professionalism and Rules of Golf knowledge. The induction of the Inaugural Class will spur on a new tradition: Honoring the rich history of golf in the Commonwealth on a yearly basis, with new honorees and a chance to celebrate tremendous memories while looking toward the future.

Said Palmer: “We want this to be a vibrant, great place to go to celebrate the history of golf in Virginia.

VSGA - VIP Scholarship Foundation

In 1984 the Virginia State Golf Association launched a VIP Card initiative that was designed to provide value and access for golfers, generate play at participating VSGA member clubs, and produce revenue for scholarships. The program traces its roots back to the terms of past VSGA presidents Ed Key and Dr. Frank Filipowicz, along with sectional chairman Dave Daniels who helped spawn the program and nurtured its early growth. Simultaneously, the VSGA created the VSGA-VIP Scholarship Foundation [501(c) (3)] whose purpose remains to provide college assistance to young men and women with an interest in golf.

From the outset, a cornerstone of the VIP Card program was the condition that a portion of the proceeds from card sales be designated for scholarships. Twenty-five Virginia courses participated on the VSGA’s first VIP Card offering, including longtime supporters The Homestead and Wintergreen Resort. Today more than 200 courses appear on the card, including more than 60 courses in West Virginia.

Since its humble beginnings more than 30 years ago, the VSGA-VIP Scholarship Foundation has awarded nearly $2.5 million to more than 1,000 students.
