Arkansas City Presbyterian Manor golf tournament raises more than $17k Arkansas City Presbyterian Manor’s 25th Annual Dick Metz Memorial Golf Classic on May 4 raised more than $17,800 for Presbyterian Manor’s Good Samaritan Program.
The tournament was named for the late golf pro and Arkansas City native, Richard “Dick” C. Metz, who was a leading golf pro in the 1930s and 1940s. In his career, he won 14 professional victories and was inducted into the Kansas Golf Hall of Fame in 1991.
