SAND GREENS
From 1941 to
1984, there was a high school sand greens state tournament. This was held in
the fall of the year and any school including the Class A schools competed
until 1961, after which it became a spring event and was entered only by
schools not playing in the grass greens competition.
Smaller
schools enjoying success in this activity included Alma (six sand greens state
championships), Mullen (4), Franklin (4) and Nelson (3).
Kevin Slocum
of Franklin was sand greens' only three-time individual state champion
(1973-74-75).
Two-time
winners included Brad Irvin of Fullerton (1976-77), Greg Pumphrey of Hebron
(1969-70), Jules Vandersarl of Lincoln Pius X (1960-61), Bud Williamson of
Lincoln High (1956-57), Jack Moore of Grand Island (1951-52), Ron Moore of
Grand Island (1949-50) and Bob Knickrehm of Grand Island (1947-48).
