Golf Championship Foretells Tight Race At Indian Hills
Brad Mitchell and J O Mitchell discussed a deep field for the 36 hole event led by past champion Wilkerson. Sponsors provide trophies and gift certificates while prizes include a suit at a local store for the champ and cash awards for runners up and flight winners. Livingston Memorial Medalist Trophy honors Euel Livingston with Gene and Johnny Livingston in the field. A novelty $500 hole in one prize and a $100 closest to pin on No 6 add to incentives. Wilkerson’s prior form at Indian Hills makes him a key contender alongside other high handicappers in a challenging course.
