I played in the 1st World Amateur Championship in 1984. I would love to meet some of the guys that were there too.
I was reminded of it when I drew MB National South. I played it the first year with Gator Hole and Possium Trot, as I remember. I don’t remember if we had 3 or 4 rounds then.
I don’t suppose WA still has any of the data from back then.

August 22, 2017 at 9:17 pm #39714Rick KimbrellParticipantGood Lord, does that site brings back some memories. 1988 was my first year and it was a 4 day tournament. But, let Google be your friend.

August 22, 2017 at 9:23 pm #39716chuck beauregardParticipantJay thanks. Didn’t find much but it was worth the effort. 1984 was before bulletin boards and newsgroups and Internet except at UCLA and Al Gore’s house, according to Al.
I quiz my fellow “old farts” and see if any of them were there too.
Play well and leave the Ice Cream at the 19th hole for me.
August 22, 2017 at 9:28 pm #39717chuck beauregardParticipantThanks Rick, so it was 3.
August 22, 2017 at 10:02 pm #39721Rick KimbrellParticipantChuck, have you played in all of them?
August 22, 2017 at 11:00 pm #39724chuck beauregardParticipantNo, I haven’t. Didn’t come back until 2012. Live in California, kids, etc.. Just not in the cards.
August 23, 2017 at 9:24 am #39732John CossaboomParticipantLooking at this I can only guess that there are not many golf courses in the Dakotas. It’s also sad to see the number of participants decline.
August 23, 2017 at 10:43 am #39746Rick KimbrellParticipantJohn, I think the springing up of similar type events (albeit the others are 3 days and not 4) has had a lot to do with the decline over the years. Then throw in the economy and the overall decline in golf itself…sad but just is what it is.
August 23, 2017 at 12:34 pm #39760Tom McCainParticipantJohn, are you playing this year?
August 23, 2017 at 12:55 pm #39761John CossaboomParticipantYes, Flight 41. I hope that I get to see you at the CC.
August 23, 2017 at 12:56 pm #39762Tom McGeehanParticipantRick, I also started in 1988 and still have my original Dupont bag tag. I don’t think I missed a year until 2004. I still get just as excited today anticipating the trip as I did the first year and all the times in between. See everyone Sunday evening at House of Blues.
