Muny historical marker dedicated
The historical marker for Lions Municipal Golf Course has finally been planted — in a temporary location.
As my able sportswriting colleague, Kevin Robbins, reports in today’s paper, officials dedicated the marker noting the 1951 racial integration of Lions as the first known desegregation of a municipal golf course in the South.
It was placed in a temporary hole on the first tee and will be moved later to the right-of-way along a street adjacent to Muny.
University of Texas System regents are considering recommendations by a consultant to eliminate the course after a lease with the City of Austin expires in 2019 and replace it with a major residential and commercial district.
