Big Foot Country Club, 770 Shabbona Dr. in Fontana-On-Geneva-Lake — Three Walworth County student caddies at Big Foot Country Club in Fontana-On-Geneva-Lake are among 20 statewide to have been recently awarded the prestigious Evans Scholarship — a full housing and tuition college grant offered to golf caddies by the Western Golf Association and the Evans Scholars Foundation. Receiving Evans Scholarships locally are Jack Nelson (Walworth) and Dakota Nordmeyer (Walworth) of Big Foot Union High School in Walworth; and Kathryn Teske (Lake Geneva) of Badger High School in Lake Geneva. The full tuition and housing Evans Scholarship is valued at an estimated $125,000 over four years of college or university.
