Linton Hopkins, now a retired physician, began writing down the stories about legends like Bobby Jones he’d heard at East Lake Club over the past 30 years. Tom Cousins told him “If you write it, I’ll sell It.” That book sold out, and this is the sequel. Rumor has it that Alexa Stirling, U.S. Women’s Amateur golf champion in 1916, ’19 and ’20, might also come to tell her story. Since Alexa was born in the 1890s and would now be over 120 years young, we’re not sure what to expect, but it should be very entertaining.
Sponsored by Buckhead Heritage, the event will take place Thursday July 11, at 7 p.m. in the Gould Room at St. Philip's Cathedral (2744 Peachtree Road NW, Atlanta 30305).
