A Look Back

1937 Golf Tournament
by Barry Bauer

George Hooker, left, was runner-up to Russell Spiker, right, in the 1937 Central Michigan Golf Tournament held at the Clinton County Country Club just north of St. Johns.
Both golfers were from Midland.
The 36-hole match was very close but Spiker prevailed in the end.
For their efforts, Hooker won a golf bag and of course Spiker took home the huge bragging trophy.
