Those three include Beth Bader, John Benda and Judd Gibb. One interesting fact about these three is that they were all student athletes at Iowa State University. They have had very impactful careers, not only for themselves but for those they influenced and mentored along the way. These individuals were to be formally inducted into the Hall of Fame in in the spring of 2020 but due to the pandemic it was decided that postponing the event until 2021 would be the best course of action. It is hopeful that a “double-ceremony” can be held in the spring of 2021 that honors the classes of 2020 and 2021. Any future information regarding the induction ceremony for 2021 will be posted as soon as it is finalized. The Iowa Golf Hall of Fame is administered by the Iowa Golf Association and the IGA Foundation on behalf of all golf organizations in Iowa. If you would like to help fund the expansion of displays and preserve the history of golf in the state you can dontate specifically to the Iowa Golf Hall of Fame through the IGA Foundation at iowagolf.org/Foundation.
