Company Namesake to Conduct Exhibition, Greet Fans, Sign Autographs
(LINCOLN, Calif.) – On Friday September 7, PGA TOUR legend Billy Casper will sign autographs and conduct a short game exhibition which are free to the general public at Lincoln Hills Golf Club from 11 a.m. to 2:30 p.m.
Billy Casper has a special connection to Lincoln Hills because he worked with golf architect Greg Nash to design the courses.
With 51 career wins on the PGA TOUR, Casper ranks seventh on the all- time victories list behind only Sam Sneed (82), Jack Nicklaus (73), Ben Hogan (64), Arnold Palmer (62), Tiger Woods (57) and Byron Nelson (52). Winner of two U.S. Open titles (1959, 1966) and a green jacket (1970 Masters champion), Casper possesses one of the golf’s most legendary short games which will be on display at Lincoln Hills.
Casper has a great fan base in Northern California from his prolific playing days. From his historic U.S. Open win at Olympic Club to his Transamerica Senior Championship title, Billy Casper has amassed an incredible record and he is a beloved figure among sports fans of all ages in the region.

"We are thrilled Billy Casper is coming to Lincoln Hills," says course General Manager Mark Brouwer. "Billy’s wit, anecdotes from his playing days with his fellow legends, and golf ambassadorship will be a great treat for those who attend these special appearances."
From 1964 to 1970, Casper had one of golf’s most impressive playing records, winning more tournaments than "The Big Three" – Nicklaus, Palmer and Gary Player – combined.
"I am excited to let golfers know that we greatly appreciate their playing the courses managed by our company," says Casper. "I also have a lot of fans and friends in the area from my playing days, and I can’t wait to see everyone."
