About $110,000 in state dollars will go to the Georgia Golf Hall of Fame in Augusta in the coming fiscal year.
The money will fund operational expenses and strategic planning.
The funding this year comes after a controversial veto last year by Governor Sonny Perdue that nixed more than $630,000 in state funding to the hall.
A sticking point then...funding the gardens there.
The gardens closed shortly after Perdue's veto, due to the lack of money.
Augusta/Richmond County now operates them as a botanical park.
"Now we're back in the hall of fame business again," says Diane Swain, the hall's executive director.
The hall has 78 inductees.
