Two veteran golfers will be the latest inductees into the Washington County Golf Hall of Fame during
ceremonies scheduled for Sunday, May 5 at Beaver Creek Country Club.
Randy Barnes was selected as the 2023 inductee. However, the induction event was postponed and HE
will be rewarded in May. The Hall of Fame has selected Fountain Head Country Club member Elaine

County Amateur in 1990 and is a former winner of the original Black Rock Championship in 2003.

championship in 1981 which was the first of 13 in succession. Overall, Morris has won 20 women’s titles,
most recently in 2022.

In addition, the Hall of Fame will present awards to professional Ashley Grier and amateurs Chuck
Thatcher and Ryan Crabtree. Thatcher was the amateur player of the year in 2022 and Crabtree is the
selection for the 2023 season.
