It will soon be known as “The Cullan at Mineral Mound State Park.” in honor of Brown who grew up learning the game of golf at that course.

The former University of Kentucky and Lyon County High golfer died following a year-long battle with cancer last August. A ceremony to rename the course will be held this August.
