Welcome Oregon Amateur Contestants

On behalf of the entire Waverley community of members and staff, we want to extend to all the players a warm welcome to the 102nd Oregon Amateur Championship. Waverley is a very special place and we truly hope you enjoy your time with us and on the golf course.

Waverley’s history is rich with amateur championships includes hosting the first three “unofficial” Oregon Amateur Championships in 1901, 1902 and 1903 originally called the Waverly Spring Meet. The original State Amateur trophy is on display in the Waverley museum. In 1904, the first “official” Oregon Amateur Championship was again played at Waverley.

Waverley hosted the championship for its first thirteen years and a number of year’s thereafter. Waverley members have a rich tradition of success as Oregon Amateur Champions with 31 Men’s Amateur Championship victories and 23 Women’s Amateur Championship victories over the 101 occurrences of the tournament. Waverley members Roderick Macleay and Carrie Flanders swept the 1904 Amateur Championship becoming Oregon’s first ever Oregon Amateur Men’s and Women’s Champions.

Congratulations to each of the participants in this year Championship. You are recognized as the finest amateur golfers in Oregon for 2011. We are grateful for the efforts of the Oregon Golf Association and the commitment of volunteers, staff and Waverley’s membership for their effort in ensuring a successful championship.
