Trenham 1980 to 1989 1980 The Section had another first as the new Senior PGA Tour held its first event at the Atlantic City CC in June. 1981 Dick Smith, Sr. won the 60 th Philadelphia PGA Section Championship at the Cavaliers Country Club in October. 1982 Dick Smith, Sr. won his fourth Philadelphia PGA Section Championship at Huntingdon Valley C.C. in September. 1983 Charlie Bolling won the South African Open in late January. 1984 Rick Osberg tied for third in the PGA Club Professional Championship in October. 1985 Ed Dougherty won the PGA Club Professional Championship in October. 1986 In December Dick Smith, Sr. was elected secretary of the PGA of America at the national meeting in Indianapolis. 1987 The Philadelphia pros defeated the Middle Atlantic Section to make it 12 wins for Philadelphia against 6 losses. 1988 The Philadelphia PGA Section Championship prize money was $100,000 for the first time. 1989 In April Jimmy Booros won on the PGA Tour at the Deposit Guaranty Golf Classic. 1980 A new decade began with golf booming. The PGA Tour purses were rapidly increasing and most of the tournaments were televised. There were concerns that there was too much golf being shown on TV. Playing the PGA Tour was a distant thought for most club pros. People were retiring earlier and more women were taking up the game so the rounds of golf were in- creasing each year. Senior golf was becoming very popular and the Phila- delphia Section was in on another first, as the Atlantic City Country Club would host the first official tournament of the new Senior PGA Tour.

  • Mayor Jacobs to Donate Royal Rumble Appearance Fee to TCAT Knoxville Scholarship Fund
    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: February 1, 2021 Contact: Mike Donila Abbey Harris 306-1177 cell 215-4579 office 705-1681 cell Mayor Jacobs to Donate Royal Rumble Appearance Fee to TCAT Knoxville Scholarship Fund KNOXVILLE, Tenn.—On Sunday, Knox County Mayor Glenn Jacobs appeared as Kane at WWE’s Royal Rumble, which aired on the WWE Network. The organization doesn’t discuss contract details, but at the Mayor’s request will donate his earnings from the appearance directly to the Knox County Mayor’s Applied Technology Scholarship Fund for TCAT Knoxville. Earlier this year, Mayor Jacobs donated $5,000 of his salary to help start the scholarship, which benefits a Knox County employee’s child—including adoptive, biological, legal or step—who is a student at the school. The Royal Rumble took place at Tropicana Field in St. Petersburg, Florida, and featured the WWE’s virtual fan viewing experience dubbed ThunderDome. According to the company, the ThunderDome is a state-of-the-art set that uses video boards, pyrotechnics, lasers, cutting-edge graphics, and drone cameras to bring fans into the arena via live video for an unprecedented experience. At the event, Bianca Belair—Knoxville’s own Austin-East and University of Tennessee graduate Bianca Nicole Blair Crawford—won the Women’s Royal Rumble Match after battling a record- setting 57 minutes. She will go on to compete at WrestleMania in April. Mayor Jacobs received a COVID-19 rapid test before leaving for and upon arriving at the event. While there, he wore a CDC-recommended face covering and kept his distance from others while not performing.
