A committee of five (5) individuals will be confirmed by the Executive Committee of the Carolinas Golf Foundation to serve as the Hall of Fame Committee. This committee will elect a chairperson, receive nominations, vote on inductees, make arrangements for ceremonies, and conduct other business related to the Hall of Fame as directed by the Executive Committee of the Carolinas Golf Association.

​

Any group or individual, excluding current members of the Hall of Fame Committee, may nominate a candidate for the Carolinas Golf Hall of Fame by the annual deadline established by the selection committee. Candidates will be elected by the Hall of Fame Committee. Nominees may include, but are not limited to, amateur players, golf professionals, superintendents, course architects, administrators, volunteers, coaches, or media members.

​

All candidates will be evaluated based on:
(1) Golf playing ability and record;
(2) Coaching/teaching ability or accomplishments;
(3) Involvement and service to organized golf (local, state, national);
(4) Impact on or contributions to the game.

​

Any individual may be considered for induction into the Hall of Fame who has distinguished themselves in one or more of the judging categories listed above, and whose accomplishments were in some way tied to the Carolinas, or who by birth or residency is, or has been, recognized as a Carolinian. The primary emphasis will be on golf-related accomplishments and service to the game relative to the states of North and South Carolina. A nominee must be at least 50 years old during the year of a given Induction Ceremony (example: A player must turn 50 in 2023 to qualify for the Class of 2023).

​

To be inducted, a nominee must receive at least two-thirds of the votes. If no candidate receives two-thirds of the votes, the two nominees with the highest vote totals will be voted on again by the Committee. All nominations received shall remain active and on the ballot for ten (10) years, allowing five possible induction opportunities, unless elected sooner.
