Colonel Richardson High School graduate Anthony (Tony) Worm was inducted into McDaniel College’s Athletics Hall of Fame on November 1st, 2024 for his outstanding college golf career.
Growing up on Liberty Road in Federalsburg, Worm was constantly on the move. His mother, Kay Satchell, says he “played every sport there was.” In fact, he was recruited to McDaniel (then called Western Maryland College) to play baseball, but he walked on to McDaniel’s Green Terror golf team and quickly proved himself as a valuable player and leader.
Worm began playing golf with his grandfather, Thomas Davis, in his teenage years on the Caroline County golf course. He officially joined Colonel Richardson’s golf team during his junior year. As his mom put it, he was “good from the beginning.” Worm would go on to earn countless accolades for his golf career in college and beyond, including leading the Green Terror to the Centennial Conference Championship in 1998, where he was named that year’s Centennial Conference Player of the Year. A two-time NAACP Championship Qualifier, Worm currently has the seventh-best score in conference history and is tied for the third-best career scoring average in McDaniel golf history (76.2). Additionally, Worm was given an Honorable Mention selection to the Golf Coaches Association of America’s All-American team.
Unsurprisingly, McDaniel inducted Worm into their Athletics Hall of Fame due to his stellar golf record and dedication to the Green Terror. The ceremony took place during McDaniel’s homecoming weekend this past November.
Worm continues to golf today. Most importantly, he plays in local fundraising tournaments to have fun and support various charitable causes. His mom noted that she is “very proud” of his achievements.
