New Class of
Caddie-Scholars
Often called 'life-changing, " the Evans
Scholarship Program awarded by
the Western Golf Association provides
college tuition (and housing) to deserving
young men and women based
on their caddieing, academic excellence,
financial need and character. It
was only fitting that 14 high school
senior caddie-scholars were awarded
scholarships December 6 at The Minikahda
Club in Minneapolis (site of
Chick Evans' U.S. Open win in 1916).
