Big Canyon Country Club RETROSPECTIVENestled in one of Orange County’s hidden canyons, a scant few miles from the glistening blue Pacific, lies Big Canyon Country Club, one of golf’s secret treasures. Big Canyon is consistently recognized as one of the most prominent golf and social clubs in Southern California. Big Canyon Country Club is part of what was known originally as Irvine Ranch. It was one of the first master planned golf communities in California with the course being built in the fine tradition of the world’s best golf courses. It was the vision of the 150 year-old Irvine Company, which started as an agricultural company and transitioned into California’s largest real estate company. Recognizing the importance of the urban expansion of Los Angeles in the 1960s, the Irvine Company transformed Newport Beach from a quiet, surfside vacation destination into a bustling center of both commerce and a full-time residence for tens of thousands of families. The area is regarded worldwide as a leading fashion and business center. The original golf course layout and design is credited to distinguished architect Robert Muir Graves. Over his career, Graves designed, remodeled and consulted on over 800 golf course projects throughout the United States and abroad. Big Canyon C.C. opened for play on May 5, 1971 and the18

The history of the U.S. SENIOR AMATEUR Championship J. Wood Platt is the first The remarkable growth of senior golf prompted the USGA to Senior Amateur Champion. establish the Senior Amateur Championship in 1955. Many senior golf associations had been founded on the local, state J. Clark Espie is the first two- and regional levels, proving that the competitive instinct time champion of the Senior among golfers was not diminished by age. Amateur. In 1955, the notion of a tournament only for seniors was not a Lewis W. Oemig is the only new one. Fifty years earlier, The Apawamis Club in Rye, N.Y., three-time winner of the had started the oldest senior competition still in existence, which Senior Amateur. led directly to the formation of the U.S. Senior Golf Association, a private organization not linked to the USGA. Apawamis extended invitations to golfers 60 years of age and older. When the response was not overwhelming, the age minimum was dropped to 55 to gather a representative field. Thus was the definition of a senior amateur golfer established. The U.S. Senior Golf Association conducted a fine tournament, but membership in the organization was limited, and a long waiting list developed. Because there was no single event open to all senior amateurs, the USGA was asked to start a true national championship. The Senior Amateur was added to the schedule in 1955. Entries were open to golfers age 55 and over who had handicaps not over 10 strokes. The addition of the Senior Amateur gave the USGA exactly twice as many championships as it had conducted before World War II, when there were just four: the Amateur, Open and Women’s Amateur, started in 1895, and the Amateur Public Links (1922). From World War II until 1955, the USGA added four more: the Junior Amateur (1948), the Girls’ Junior (1949), the Women’s Open (1953) and the Senior Amateur (1955). The USGA now conducts 13 national championships for individuals, 10 of which are strictly for amateurs.32

Beginning in 2014, the championship was“ ”renamed the U.S. Senior Amateur Championship. The first Senior Amateur at Belle Meade Country Club in Nashville, Tenn., drew 370 entries from 30 states and the District of Columbia. J. Wood Platt, 56, the eight- time Philadelphia Amateur champion, defeated George Studinger of San Francisco, 5 and 4, in the final. In 1959, J. Clark Espie, who also won in 1957, became the Senior Amateur’s first two-time champion. Lewis W. Oehmig, a record six-time finalist, is the only three- time winner (1972, 1976, 1985). Senior Amateur contestants may ride in carts, a concession not allowed when the championship was first played. Tradition- alists, who believed walking was vital to a valid national title, finally gave in because the championship is played in the fall, when it is difficult to obtain caddies. Carts have been allowed since 1963. Beginning in 2014, the championship was renamed the U.S. Senior Amateur Championship. It was conducted as the USGA Senior Amateur Championship since its inception. Doug Hanzel won the 2013 U.S. Senior Amateur Championship at Wade Hampton G.C. in Cashiers, N.C. Hanzel was also the low amateur in the 2013 U.S. Senior Open.

Honorary MEMBERS Ray Carrasco Big Canyon Country Club Honorary Member Ray Carrasco was born and raised in Orange County, California. He attended Garden Grove High School and was All CIF in golf in 1963-64. He played on the 1965 State Championship winning Santa Ana College Team and was an All Conference team player at San Diego State University. Ray turned pro in 1971 and says he has “played nearly every profes- sional tour known to man! From Canada to Asia, South America, and Europe, I have teed it up, taken divots and holed out in the quest to win that first big professional event. I have had some great comebacks, some setbacks, some steady rounds, but none in a finale finding me holding that elusive first win trophy. As a journeyman pro I have played on the PGA Tour, European Tour, Champions Tour and the European Seniors Tour.” He adds that “all of these experiences took place before I was offered an honorary membership at Big Canyon Country Club. The committee members were aware that I was preparing for the Senior Tour. Big Canyon C.C. gave me the opportunity to help develop my golf game at a wonderful top-notch practice facility and championship golf course. I will always be grateful for that support which was the catalyst for my breakthrough to playing the best golf of my life. I qualified for the U.S. Senior Open in 1998 and 2000. I won the Senior Masters at Wentworth, England in 2002, the Jamaica Seniors Classic in 2003, and the Wales Senior Open in 2004. I have the good Lord to thank for these victories and also, with much appreciation, the members of Big Canyon Country Club.” Need a Private Investigator?

John Cook Big Canyon Country Club Honorary Member John Cook was born in Toledo, Ohio, but grew up in Southern California. He was a promising but undersized quarterback at Miraleste High School in Rancho Palos Verdes through his sophomore year. He was advised by his high school golf coach (also the football coach) to concentrate on golf. Encouraged by Jack Nicklaus and Tom Weiskopf, he accepted a scholarship at Ohio State University. John won the California State Amateur in 1975 at the age of 18, the U.S. Amateur in 1978 and was a member of the Buckeyes’ 1979 NCAA Championship team. He turned professional in 1979. John has won eleven times on the PGA Tour and was a member of the 1993 U.S. Ryder Cup Team. He currently plays on the Champions Tour, where he has nine victories. John says that “as an honorary member at Big Canyon since 2007, I have enjoyed many games with the outstanding players at the club. Won a few, lost many. I always feel prepared to go compete on tour after playing Big Canyon. In fact, since joining Big Canyon, I have won nine times on the Champions Tour.” He wishes the best of luck to all the participants in the 2014 U.S. Senior Amateur!We welcome all Senior Amateurs to Big Canyon Country Club . . .

We welcome you to the 2014 U.S. Senior Amateur Championship Fred Couples Big Canyon Country Club Honorary Member Fred Couples is one of the golf world’s most popular players. He has compiled both a great playing record and also a worldwide following of fans who admire his athletic abilities and personal style. He was born in Seattle, Washington where he spent his early years playing on the city’s public courses. He soon became one of the state’s premier junior golfers, and his amateur achievements in the Northwest earned him an invitation to play on the golf team at the University of Houston. Fred accomplished one of the ultimate achievements in golf in 1992, winning the green jacket of a Masters champion. Fred finished the 1992 season leading the PGA Tour money list, earning his first (of four) World Cup of Golf team titles with Davis Love III, and being selected by his fellow PGA Tour players as Player of the Year for the second consecutive year. Fred’s other victories include the 1996 Players Championship, the 1998 Bob Hope Chrysler Classic, the 1998 Memorial Tournament and the 2003 Shell Houston Open. He started playing on the Champions Tour in 2010 and claimed four tournament titles in 2010, as well as being selected as the Champions Tour Rookie of the Year. Fred has been part of the U.S. team for five Ryder Cup and four Presidents Cup matches as a player. He was selected as the captain of the U.S. team for the 2009, 2011 and 2013 Presidents Cup matches, all in which the U.S. team prevailed over the International team. In August 2011 Fred won his maiden senior major at the Senior Players Championship and followed this up in July 2012 when he won the Senior British Open Championship. He was inducted into the World Golf Hall of Fame in 2013.50
