Dunavant requested permis- sion to use the course in May through Winston Lake Pro Ernest Morris. Dunavant suggested he should talk to Tommy Gavin, an assistant director of Recreation. Dunavant said that Gavin did not want him to use the public facility because he might not not be able to pay the advertised ^ $15,000 purse for the professional and seniors flights. . "He (Gavin) told me his bigjest concern was if I could pay {he pro purse," said Dunavant, fho was golf pro at Winston Lake from 1960-62. "I told him ki . - ..... li s noi tncir responsiDiiity.

Dunavant claims he paid the entire $15,000 purse, which was paid from the entry fees, from money he borrowed from Florida . businessmen Jimmy Taylor, Eldorado Long and Mark McCray, from his own pocket and from two Winston-Salem corporations. Dunavant did consider cutting the purse at the Bel-Aire event. However, a threatened last-round walkout by several pros persuaded him to make full payment. "The tournament officials said they were about nine or 10 pro entry fees short of paying the purse," said Brian Slteen, assistant pro at High Point's Blair and the second-place finisher. "They were thinking about cutting $5,000, but nine players at $100 per entry fee is only $900. A whole bunch of people were going to walk out Sunday, so they made full payment." Skeen said he received his second-place check for $1,500. Oavin said a course like Winston Lake would suffer a tarnished image if a promoter failed to meet promised payments. Moreover, he was unaware of any sponsors for the Hall of Fame tourney when he met with Dunavant in May.
