THIS IS THE LAST STATE AMATEUR FOR THE NEW HAMPSHIRE GOLF HALL OF FAMER. IT’S BEEN A GREAT RUN FOR MILKERS, WHO FIRST COMPETED IN THE TOURNEY IN 1975. HE’S WON NINE AMATEUR CHAMPIONSHIPS. HERE’S THE LEGEND REFLECTING ON HIS CAREER SOMEWHAT BITTERSWEET. UH, I THINK IT’S TIME. I’M ALMOST 75 AND, UH, I WANTED TO TRY TO EXTEND MY CAREER TO FINISH ON MY HOME COURSE, AND I’M DOING THAT.

SO, UH, HAVING HIM GO IS IT’S IT’S TOUG
