For more than 10 years, Great Bend High School has been proud to honor the accomplishments and career achievements of its graduates through the Great Bend High School Hall of Fame awards. On Friday, January 3, the community is invited to celebrate the induction of Steve Gotsche.

The 1979 graduate of GBHS began his amateur golf career in 1974 and turned professional in the spring of 1985. During his professional career, Gotsche qualified nine times for the U.S. Open, competed in the U.S. Senior Open, has won over 70 mini-tour tournaments throughout the country and holds many course records many of which still stand today including a 56 (-15) at The Club at Stoneridge.

An accomplished professional golfer and caring community member for many years, the community is invited to celebrate Gotsche’s achievements, both on and off the golf course.

The Great Bend High School Hall of Fame luncheon will be held on Friday, January 3 in the Great Bend High School Jack Kilby Commons, 2027 Morton St. Tickets are available for $15 per person and include a catered, three-course luncheon and program. Email reservations to Lana Wolf, lana.wolf@usd428.net, by December 27. 

Gotsche will also be recognized between the boys and girls basketball games that evening in the GBHS Gymnasium. A pubic reception will be held at the conclusion of the basketball games.
