Indiana Golf is saddened by the passing of beloved Hall of Fame member, Jerry Nelson.
Jerry was a past president of the Indiana Golf Association and captured more than 20 club championships from clubs around the state including Crooked Stick Golf Club, Stonehenge Golf Club, Tippecanoe Country Club and Rozella Ford Golf Course. He was the runner-up at the 1993 United States Senior Amateur Championship and he has won several IGA and Indiana PGA titles including the Indiana PGA Senior Open four times, the IGA Senior Amateur in 2000, the IGA Four Ball with Spider Miller five times, three Indiana PGA Senior Pro-Am Championships with Dave Schumaker, the 1985 IGA Mid-Amateur and he is a two-time IGA Player of the Year.
Our thoughts go out to Jerry's family.
