Overton Park 9 unveils Memphis golf history walkway
The new Memphis Golf History Walkway at Overton Park 9 recognizes donors and honors West Tennessee golf history. (Drew Hill/The Daily Memphian)

He panned his eyes across the names on the freshly washed bricks in front of him, stopping at least five times before he took a long pause at one brick near the end.
Every time Dixon makes the short trip under the trees and up the incline, he notices something different. But there’s one etched block in particular that means a lot to him.
