Hall of Famers highlight golf clinic Monday at Riverside

Two Hall of Fame golfers, Billy Casper and Johnny Miller, headline a host of PGA Tour players who will highlight a golf clinic at Riverside Country Club on Monday at 9 a.m.

The event, which will also draw former Masters champion Mike Weir and two-time Senior PGA Tour major winner Mike Reid, is held in conjunction with Cougar Day, conducted by BYU golf coach Bruce Brockbank.

His predecessor, Collegiate Golf Hall of Fame coach Karl Tucker, who has been struggling with health issues, will also be present and, over concern over his health, many former players will be in attendance as clinic participants and also as players in a tournament later that morning.

Those players include former All-American Bobby Clampett, who is currently a network golf analyst, along with Pat McGowan, Dick Zokol, Dean Wilson and Daniel Summerhays.

The clinic is open to the public and will be staged on the first tee at Riverside. On Friday, Sept. 25, the 1981 NCAA national champion golf team at BYU will be inducted into the BYU Athletic Hall of Fame.
