Carolinas Golf
Awards and Honors
The Carolinas Golf Association recognizes the people who shape golf in North and South Carolina. That includes the players who set the standard in competition, the volunteers and leaders who give their time to the game, and the figures whose contributions have earned a lasting place in its history.
The CGA’s awards and honors are the Richard S. Tufts Players of the Year, the Charles E. Lynch, Jr. Distinguished Service Award, and the Carolinas Golf Hall of Fame.
Richard S. Tufts Players of the Year
Created in 1997, the Richard S. Tufts Awards honor the Carolinas’ amateur golfers with the strongest individual tournament performances over the preceding year. Each award goes to the top golfer in the CGA amateur rankings at the end of the calendar year. There are seven categories: Girls’, Boys’, Women’s, Men’s, Senior Women’s, Senior Men’s, and Super Senior Men’s. Richard S. Tufts served on the CGA Executive Committee from 1926 to 1964 and as President from 1931 through 1933.
Charles E. Lynch, Jr. Distinguished Service Award
The Charles E. Lynch, Jr. Distinguished Service Award is presented each year to those who go above and beyond in service to golf in the Carolinas. Recipients embody the leadership, passion, and dedication that define the CGA, whether as volunteers, rules officials, or long-standing leaders in the game.
Carolinas Golf Hall of Fame
The Carolinas Golf Hall of Fame honors the players, leaders, and contributors whose impact on golf in North and South Carolina has stood the test of time. Inductee profiles and the full induction history are on the Hall of Fame page.
