Welcome from the
Western Amateur Committee

Dear Western Amateur Patrons,
On behalf of the Tournament Committee and the hundreds of volunteers who
have made the 119th Western Amateur possible, I want to thank you for your
support of this important annual event and the wonderful cause it benefits.
We are pleased to report that through the efforts of many Glen View Club
members, corporate sponsors and advertisers, we have established a new
record for contributions to the Evans Scholars Foundation by a host club for
the Western Amateur. Through the commitment of these donors, we have
permanently endowed a new Evans Scholars Scholarship for Glen View Club
caddies which will provide a lifetime of benefits to many university-bound
young men and women. We thank all of the members and sponsors for their
generous support.

And a very special thanks to those hundreds of volunteers, referenced earlier,
who have handled the countless details related to player transportation,
guest services and hospitality, communication and marketing, program

financial stewardship and so much more.

This tournament would also not be possible without the extra hours of
preparation put in by Glen View’s Grounds & Greens Team along with our
Golf Pro Shop Staff, Clubhouse Staff and General Management. It has been
a wonderful team effort, and my gratitude couldn’t be greater.

Sincerely,

Rick Waddell
Chair, 2021 Western Amateur Championship
