Chairman's Message WINTER 2007 • VOL 17 NO 4 Chairman’s Message For KemperSports, 2007 was another year of growth, sound financial performance, staff advancement in support of our expansion, and contributions to the communities in which we operate. So by all our high qualitative and quantitative standards it was another year to be grateful for and proud of. Every staff member receiving this edition of Inside The Ropes knows that we all work hard as individuals and as an organization to excel in our fields of expertise, to serve our clients with intensity and insight, and to act with integrity and consideration in all we do. We know if we accomplish that year in and year out, we will be successful. And, that’s what drove our success in 2007. For the past several years, I have used this space to recount the accomplishments of the year, featuring awards, ratings and rankings our clients and their properties have achieved. Since those activities have been covered so fully in these pages throughout the year, I’m going to use this little space for a different purpose this year. But I do want underscore that during the course of 2007 golf properties in the KemperSports portfolio received an unprecedented amount of accolades and acclaim. I know what great sense of importance we all assign to what I believe is an unparalleled record of acknowledgements this past year. So instead of revisiting the record, I want to thank the extended KemperSports and KemperLesnik community, comprised of golf, marketing and public relations clients, hundreds of thousands of golf patrons who played in excess of 2,000,000 rounds this year, our valued suppliers, consultants and services companies, and, of course our entire staff, now more than 4,000 strong. You are an “extended family” that together comprises an admirable and constructive force in the marketplace and in the communities in which you operate. This is the right time of year to take a moment to reflect on the fact that striving to be a model organization, respected by all, is in itself the definition of success for us. I want to encourage everyone to remain positive, productive and once again “on top of our game” during 2008. During this past year the prosperity which has lifted many business sectors, including the businesses allied to our core golf business, such as the real estate development, recreation and entertainment, travel and tourism, and the consumer and B to B marketing industries, have all benefited from a rising tide. A number of these businesses have encountered economic difficulty in recent months portending a somewhat less robust economy in these sectors in the coming year. But we remain optimistic and we will continue to build our franchises and our clients’ franchises both in golf and in the broader market segments some of our clients compete in. We have built these operations consistently since 2000 when the golf market began to stagnate and we will continue to achieve it in the somewhat uncertain uncharted times ahead. We enter the New Year with optimism, excitement and confidence. I know I represent the feelings of the entire KemperSports community when I say we love our work, we’re passionate about it every day. That’s why when we reach this time of year, we have a great deal to be thankful for. And we are. Happy Holidays to one and all on behalf of myself, Steve and Josh.

One Golf Inc. judge said of Chambers Bay, winner of the Daily Fee category, “It’s a county deal and a reclamation, and it’s neat they could do something like that. They’re giving back to the game….” Located in Chino Hills, Calif., Vellano Country Club topped Golf Inc.’s Private Club category with a Greg Norman-designed 18-hole layout that opened in February. “I thought they did a great job achieving their vision, and the routing and aesthetics were excellent, too,” said another of the judges.

In its first ever NCAA men’s golf match play national championship appearance, Oklahoma won its second national championship in program history with a 3-1-1 victory over defending champion Oregon at Rich Harvest Farms. “I had a good feeling (this) week. My wife and I had talked about this before we went to regionals that we aren’t the best putting team and at regionals, you got to be able to do somethings at the right time to advance through,” Sooners coach Ryan Hybl said. “I told her I was hoping that this group was going to get a chance to shine. If they had an opportunity this week, they were going to do something crazy good. “This has been our best individual year. We had five individual winners, which not a lot of teams can say. The firepower was there.” Oklahoma’s championship was its first since 1989 at Oak Tree Country Club in Edmonds, Oklahoma, a championship co-hosted with rival Oklahoma St.. The Sooners lost in the quarterfinal round of the 2016 NCAA Men’s Golf Championship. Blaine Hale put the first point on the board, downing Oregon’s Norman Xiong 4&3 as he sank a birdie putt on the 15th green. Xiong had the early momentum in the match, winning the first hole and the early one-up advantage.

For well over a century, the Western Amateur has provided some of the best competition in golf, amateur or professional. This record book allows reporters covering the Western Am the ability to easily compare current achievements to those of the past. It draws on research conducted by delving into old newspaper files, and by going through the Western Golf Association’s own Western Amateur files, which date to 1949. Last year, a major expansion of the Guide presented complete year-by-year records and a player register for 1899 through 1955, the pre-Sweet Sixteen era, for the first time. Details on some courses and field sizes from various years remain to be found, but no other amateur championship has such an in-depth resource. Remaining holes in the listings will continue to be filled in for future editions. The section on records has been revised, and begins on page 8. This includes overall records, including a summary on how the medalist fared, and more records covering the Sweet Sixteen years. The Guide is in two sections covering 203 pages. Part 1, which is 76 pages, includes a year-by-year summary chart, records, a special chart detailing the 34 players who have played in the Sweet Sixteen in the 62 years since its adoption in 1956 and have won a professional major championship, and a comprehensive report the Sweet Sixteen era through both year-by-year results and a player register.
