Deane Beman, former PGA Tour Commissioner, will be our guest at Wakonda

Mike McCoy, 2008 Tournament Chairman for the Trans-Mississippi Championship, and the Wakonda Club of Des Moines, Iowa recently secured the acceptance of their joint invitation to Deane Beman to attend the championship and be honored for his contributions to golf and commemorate his winning of the 1963 United State Amateur Championship played at Wakonda.

Mr. Beman was one of the most influential people in the world of golf during the twentieth century. As an amateur and a professional, he was one of the nation’s best players over two decades. From 1974 to 1994 he served as the Commissioner of the PGA Tour, succeeding Joe Dey. He is a member of the World Golf Hall of Fame, class of 2000, a facility that was built under his inspiration and guidance. The Senior PGA Tour (now known as the Champions Tour) and the Ben Hogan Tour (now known as the Nationwide Tour) were both started under his administration. Beman won a Trans-Miss title in 1960 at Wichita Country Club by defeating Jackie Cupit after having finished runner-up in 1959 to Jack Nicklaus at Woodhill Country Club.
