2026 Everett Dobson Award

The Oklahoma Golf Hall of Fame is now accepting nominations for the 2026 Everett Dobson Award — a $5,000 cash award which recognizes an outstanding male or female golfer graduating from an Oklahoma college or university.

The recipient of the award should exemplify strong citizenship, sportsmanship and character, attributes that the OGHOF believes are fostered by the game of golf. Golf accomplishment will be considered but is not the determining factor for the board.

The nomination deadline is Sept. 14, 2026. Please email all forms to ken@golfoklahoma.org or mail to Oklahoma Golf Hall of Fame, 6218 S. Lewis Ave., Suite 102, Tulsa, OK 74136.
