    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.

  • Inaugural Version Of

    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).
