Two golfers to be enshrined

The Minnesota Golf Hall of Fame announced that Carson Lee Herron, posthumously, and Sammy Schmitz, 40, of Hudson, Wis., will be its 2021 inductees. The ceremony will be held Nov. 1 at Oak Ridge Country Club in Hopkins.

Herron helped form the Gophers' first golf team and was the first golfer to earn a varsity letter in 1925. He was a three-time medalist at the MGA State Amateur Championship. Herron joins two of his descendants in the state's Golf Hall of Fame: granddaughter Alissa (Herron) Super, Class of 2015, and grandson Tim Herron, Class of 2017.

Schmitz, a native of Farmington, has won two Minnesota Public Links Championships, in 2012 and 2013; three MGA Mid-Amateur titles, in 2011-12 and 2016; and two MGA match-play titles in 2012 and 2018. He also won the 2015 U.S. Mid-Amateur Championship.
