This Day in Golf History: December 31

Six-time PGA Tour winner and 10-time winner on the Champions Tour, Bob Gilder, was born on this date in 1950 in Corvallis, Oregon. He was the 2001 Senior PGA Tour Rookie of the Year. And apologies, dear readers, but as a Packers fan, I pause from golf history to note that on today’s date in 1967, the famous Ice Bowl was played at Green Bay. The Packers defeated Dallas, 21-17, in temperature of 13 below zero in the NFL Championship game, which allowed Green Bay to play in Super Bowl II.
