    Inaugural Version Of

    Inaugural Version of September 12-15, 2018 Message from The Centennial Chairmen Glenn Brander & Jeff Haar rentwood Country Club has a surprisingly long history. In fact, in 1916, Brentwood’s first 9 holes B opened, and one year later, its second 9 holes opened. Over the past several decades, Brentwood has hosted many great member-guest tournaments, most no- tably The Brentwooder. The Brentwooder has provided our members ONE opportunity each year to play alongside a guest of their choice in a meaningful, highly competitive, match play tournament. The Brent- wooder has long been, and will continue to be, a premiere tournament at Brentwood Country Club. In the past several years, as our competitive golf culture has grown, our Brentwooder tournament has sold out with a wait list. And so, many of our members were shut out from playing in the tournament. A realization set in that there was clearly an appetite from our membership for competitive, member-guest tournament golf, and one event a year wasn’t going to satisfy this appetite. It has long been a desire of ours to tie our club’s rich history, our heritage, to a singular, annual event. It was clear to us that the event needed to be a member guest tournament, one that doesn’t compete with The Brentwooder, but instead compliments it. The tournament would occur at a different time of the year, and with a format that differed from the Brentwooder’s match play format. With all of this in mind, a tournament sub-committee was formed, one that represented a healthy cross section of our membership (young-to-not-so-young).

    Handbook Scga-Amateur V4c.Pdf

    FROM THE PRESIDENT DEAR COMPETITORS, Welcome to the 118th playing of the SCGA Amateur Champion- ship. Surprisingly, the Coachella Valley, home to 120 golf courses, has never hosted the SCGA Amateur. Yes, it’s appropriate and long overdue. With fairways lined by large Eucalyptus trees and elevated greens protected by strategic bunkers, the Dinah Shore Tournament Course has provided a fair, but challenging test for many championships. Previous winners include Johnny Dawson (1942, 44 & 45), local standout Scott McGihon (2000, 2005 and 2006), Alan Geiberger (1956 and 1959), Beau Hossler (2013, 2014), Tiger Woods, and Patrick Cantlay. Last July at Barona Creek, Rico Hoey scored a record 19 under par 269 besting Dan Erickson (273), Clay Feagler (274), P. J. Samiere (275) and Hide Yoshihara (276). After competing in our championship, many participants have subse-quently enjoyed successful careers on the PGA Tour. My sincere congratulations on qualifying to compete on one of the Coachella Valley’s finest courses. Our Desmond Muirhead designed course opened in 1971 and in 1976 hosted the World Cup, won by Seve Ballesteros and Manuel Pinero. Mission Hills has hosted the AJGA Desert Junior annually since 1982. The first stage of LPGA qualifying is held here in the early fall. And 2017 marked the 35th playing of what is now the ANA Inspiration, the longest running LPGA major. Gorgeous views of the San Jacinto and San Gorgonio mountains and subtle slopes toward the Salton Sea add to the mystique. And there’s more for nature lovers: the sightings and sounds of red tailed hawks, vermillion flycatchers, Costas hummingbirds, and the occasional coyote.
