Welcome to Exmoor Country Club and
the 120th Western Amateur Championship
Exmoor Country Club — its members and staff — welcome you to a week
of world-class amateur golf competition at the 120th Western Amateur
Championship.
This year marks 10 years since Exmoor last hosted the championship, won
in 2012 by Chris Williams, a senior at the University of Washington. Exmoor
first hosted the 1904 Western Amateur, won by member H. Chandler Egan,
and played host again in 1952, when Frank Stranahan was the winner.
Exmoor was a charter member of the Western Golf Association in 1899.
Over many decades, Exmoor and the WGA have shared two goals — to hold
important golf championships and, beginning with the establishment of
the Evans Scholars Foundation in 1930, to provide scholarships to send
deserving caddies to college.
In that regard, I am pleased to announce that Exmoor members and event
sponsors have exceeded the club’s goal to raise $500,000 to support this
year’s tournament and to fund two or more Endowed Named Evans
Hob Jordan Scholarships on behalf of Exmoor.
President, Exmoor Country Club
No other charitable effort in our club’s history can approach this level of
generosity. Our members can be proud that for years to come — on a
permanent basis — young, hardworking caddies will enjoy the benefits
of a college education.
We are grateful to the Western Golf Association for its confidence in
selecting Exmoor to host this event. Our special thanks go to WGA President
and CEO John Kaczkowski and his staff for their leadership, encouragement,
and support.
Exmoor’s exceptionally talented staff is ready to provide the highest level of
service to contestants and guests. We trust you will enjoy our clubhouse
and other facilities to make your experience at Exmoor a special one.
On behalf of Exmoor’s Board of Governors, the tournament committee,
and the club’s entire membership, welcome to Exmoor.
And to the contestants — play well!
Sincerely,
Hob Jordan
President, Exmoor Country Club
