Announcement Friday At Bellerive Country Club

Governor Jay Nixon and other dignitaries will be in Town and Country Friday for what the St. Louis Sports Commission calls "A special sports announcement from with significant impact on the State of Missouri, the St. Louis region, and the area sports and business community." Calls by Patch to the Commission, the Governor's office and the club seeking comment were not immediately returned.

Town and Country Mayor Jon Dalton and  Mayor Harold Dielmann are among those dignitaries invited to attend Friday's festivities. Dielmann tells Patch that the invitation did not specify what the announcement was, but that he was aware of the PGA rumors.

"It means millions," he said, about the potential economic impact for bringing PGA Tour golf back to the area.
