- Title
Golf, Illinois?
- Abstract
The article focuses on the American Golf Sponsors Inc., which has been described as a fraternal order of those sponsors who underwrite and stage tournaments on the professional golf tour in the U.S. And one can get in touch with them in Golf, Illinois. It is the tournament itself which is the member, not the individuals. People move through the organization as tournaments change leadership, but it is the name of the tournament that is the heart of the organization. Trying to improve the fields is one of the objectives of the organization. Keeping the premium golfers coming out to the tournaments especially in the fall when most drop out is a difficult task. Such an endeavor is being assigned by the new Nabisco and Vantage programs which have pooled money and offered select players an opportunity to play.
