Palmer was born on September 10, 1929, in Latrobe, a small industrial town in Western Pennsylvania at the foothills of the Allegheny Mountains some 50 miles east of Pittsburgh. His saga began when he was four years old, swinging his rst set of golf clubs, cut down by his father, Milfred J. (Deacon) Palmer, who worked at Latrobe Country Club from 1921 until his death in 1976, much of that time as both golf professional and course superintendent. Before long, Arnie was playing well enough to beat the older caddies at the club. He began caddying C himself when he was 11 and worked at almost every job at the club in later years. M Y After a successful high school career, Arnold came to Wake Forest University, where CM he quickly became No. 1 man on the golf team and one of the leading collegiate players MY of that time. He captured both the 1949 and 1950 Southern Conference and NCAA CY individual titles and led his team to three Southern Conference championships. CMY He also won the 1954 inaugural ACC Championship. K After turning pro in 1955, Arnold went on to become one of the greatest players in golf history. His accolades include 92 professional wins including 62 career PGA Tour victories and 7 major championships. He was a member of 7 Ryder Cup teams, serving as Captain twice, and holds the record for most consecutive appearances in e Masters with 50 straight appearances, winning four green jackets. e golng great has been the recipient of countless honors, including the Presidential Medal of Freedom in 2004 and the Congressional Gold Medal in 2009. He has received virtually every national award in golf and after his great 1960 season, he was named both the Hickok Professional Athlete of the Year and Sports Illustrated's Sportsman of the Year. Arnold now maintains an active business schedule with golf course design, construction and development along with a variety of other ventures. He and his wife, Kathleen (Kit) Gawthrop, spend the warmer months of the year in Latrobe, but during the fall and winter they reside at their homes at Bay Hill and at the Tradition Golf Club in La Quinta, California.

Since 1978, with a few exceptions, the Pro-Am has been an annual event, and has brought some of the biggest names in golf back to Wake Forest. Pros such as Arnold Palmer, Jay Haas, Curtis Strange, Lanny Wadkins, Len Mattiace, Leonard ompson, Bob Goalby, Joe Inman, Jay Sigel, Scott Hoch, Billy Andrade, and Gary Hallberg have regularly been a part of this popular event. For the rst 20 years, almost all of the pros were on the regular PGA tour, but today our professional touring pros represent four dierent tours: LPGA, PGA, Nationwide C and Champions, exhibiting the diversity and wider range of golf today. M Y Over the years, the Pro-Am has generated thousands of dollars to help cover the costs of day CM to day operations for the golf program and assist with facility maintenance and enhancements, MY CY making this event a vital part of our fundraising eorts. Wake Forest Athletics and the men’s CMY and women’s golf programs would like to thank all of the professionals and amateurs who have K so generously supported this special event throughout the years. Wake Forest Golf is honored to welcome back the following professionals participating in the 2011 Wake Forest Golf Pro-Am.

  • Te Western Amateur Championship
    Te Western Amateur Championship Records & Statistics Guide 1899-2020 for te 119t Westrn Amatur, July 26-31, 2021 Glen View Club Golf, Il. 18t editon compiled by Tim Cronin A Guide to The Guide –––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––– Welcome to the 119th Western Amateur Championship, and the 18th edition of The Western Amateur Records & Statistics Guide, as the championship returns to the Glen View Club for the first time since the 1899 inaugural. Since that first playing, 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. A few years ago, 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 209-page Guide is in two sections. Part 1 includes a year-by-year summary chart, records, a special chart detailing the 37 players who have played in the Sweet Sixteen in the 63 years since its adoption in 1956 and have won a professional major championship, and a comprehensive report on the Sweet Sixteen era through both year-by-year results and a player register.

  • Southern Golf Association ….. News January, 2012
    Southern Golf ASSociAtion ….. neWS January, 2012 SGA StArtS 111 th YeAr ; Southern Am At LittLe rock ’S chenAL countrY cLub BIRMINGHAM, AL -- The storied Southern Golf Association enters its 111th year, with its premier event, the 106th Southern Amateur Championship, slated for play July 18-21 at chenal country club in Little Rock, AR. As has become the norm, the field will include many amateurs ranked among the top players in the U.S. and the world. The Southern Am, once the purview of well-heeled Southerners, has evolved into a national and international competition consistently judged among the top eight amateur events in the world. Ten years ago, the Southern Am field, previously restricted to entrants from SGA-member Southern Club and collegiate players within the traditional 14 southern states, was opened to worldwide entries. The 2011 Southern Am at Innisbrook Resort in Florida reflected that broad participation with players from 33 states and 9 foreign countries. As many as 700 entries are now received each year for the Southern Am , the field pared down to 168 through exemptions for the most accomplished players and a series of 20 local qualifiers scattered throughout the South and a few other states. A “national” qualifier is held at the tournament site on the Monday of tournament week to give appli - cants an extra shot at a berth in the field. While other amateur events sought to attract players with lavish gifts and perks from corporate sponsors, the SGA directors voted to continue its practice of simply putting on a first-class tournament in the true spirit of amateurism – stroke play with roving rules officials.

  • Wake Forest Golftradition
    Wake Forest Golf Tradition The ongoing tradition of Deacon golf arose from humble beginnings on a nine-hole course near the old campus in Wake Forest, N.C. From its inception in 1933 until 1947, the Wake Forest golf program was composed simply of students interested in golf and received a limited amount of support from the athletic department. This arrangement changed, however, in 1947, when then-director of athletics Jim Weaver conceived the idea of promoting a sport in which Wake could excel on a regional and national basis. Weaver, Wake Forest part-time coach Johnny Johnston, and the first two recruits – Marvin “Buddy” Worsham and Arnold Palmer – would significantly change the Wake Forest program. The latter’s ability and golf credentials are world-renowned, but his generous legacy to the Deacons is perhaps less well-known. Palmer, who attended Wake Forest from 1947-54 (he took some time away from the school to serve in the Coast Guard), endowed Wake with its first golf scholarship in 1960 in honor of close friend Worsham, who was killed in a 1950 automobile accident. The substantial financial backing, along with Palmer’s continuing involvement with the program, was crucial in the campaign to build the Demon Deacons’ reputation to the point at which it stands today. Since Palmer’s time, over 20 golfers have passed through the program on to the PGA Tour, most of them under the tutelage of the great coach Jesse Haddock, who won three national titles at the helm of the Wake Forest program. With more Wake players continuing to break onto the Tour nearly each year, the generosity of these former Deacs, both monetarily and, per- haps more impor- tantly, in gifts of their time, is an integral factor in the success of the program.
