For those who loved Bradley Johnson, it seems difficult to believe eight years have passed since he died in a tragic automobile accident.
Johnson was a standout golfer and student at Spain Park High School when his life ended, but his legacy lives on through the memorial tournament held annually in his honor.
The eighth annual Bradley Johnson Memorial Tournament will be April 2-3 at the Greystone Legacy Course. The tournament will open with a noon shotgun start followed by a banquet at the Founder’s Clubhouse. The second day of play will begin with a 9:30 a.m. shotgun start.
The tournament is hosted by the Bradley Johnson Memorial Foundation and the Spain Park boys’ golf team.
In addition to Spain Park, competing schools include Briarwood, Homewood and Hoover as well as Auburn, Athens, Fairhope, Guntersville, McGill-Toolen, Northridge, St. Luke’s, St. James, St. Paul’s and UMS-Wright.
