It is with deep sorrow that the Langston Golf Course Conservancy honors the life and legacy of Washington, D.C. native son Ray “Razor” Savoy, the inaugural recipient of the Conservancy’s Lifetime Achievement Award for Service in the Community. Mr. Savoy’s impact on historic Langston Golf Course and the city at large is immeasurable, defined by his unwavering commitment to golf, youth mentorship, and community uplift. A gifted multi-sport athlete whose journey spanned professional baseball with the Pittsburgh Pirates, semi-professional football, and high-level competition alongside legends such as John Thompson and Dave Bing, Mr. Savoy ultimately found his greatest calling in golf. In 1990, he founded the Langston Junior Boys & Girls Golf Club, dedicating decades to shaping young minds, building character, and opening pathways through the game he loved. A respected educator and mentor, his influence earned him induction into the U.S. Golf Teachers Federation Hall of Fame. For generations, he was a steady presence in the Langston clubhouse, offering wisdom, encouragement, and a profound sense of belonging. His service extended well beyond the course through his involvement with organizations across the city, including Athletes In Action. We extend our heartfelt condolences to his wife, Mrs. Paulette Savoy, his family, and the countless friends, students, and admirers who carry forward his legacy. Rest in peace, Mr. Ray Savoy.
