    The Western Amateur Championship Records & Statistics Guide 1899-2017 for te 116t Westrn Amatur, July 30-Aug. 4, 2018 Sunset Ridge County Club, Nortfield, Il. 15t editon compiled by Tim Cronin A Guide to The Guide –––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––– Welcome to the 116th Western Amateur Championship, and the 15th edition of The Western Amateur Records & Statistics Guide, as the championship comes to Sunset Ridge Country Club for the first time. 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.
