t is our pleasure to welcome you to The Country Club of North Carolina for the 73rd United States Junior Amateur Championship. We are very excited to conduct one of the USGA’s 10 amateur championships in the Sandhills region. The U.S. Junior Amateur will be played in the Tar Heel State for the first time and CCNC’s Dogwood and Cardinal Courses will no doubt provide a challenging test and a great experience for all involved.

This will be the third USGA championship played at The Country Club of North Carolina. Hal Sutton capped a spectacular summer with his convincing victory over Bob Lewis Jr. in the 1980 U.S. Amateur. Thirty years later Doris Chen won the U.S. Girls’ Junior by rallying in the afternoon round to defeat Katelyn Dambaugh. Other golf greats have won on these fairways, including Jack Nicklaus, as a professional, and Ben Crenshaw and this year’s championship honorary chairman Webb Simpson, as amateurs.

In 1948, the USGA established the U.S. Junior Amateur Championship to both determine the best junior golfer and to help junior golfers learn how to realize the most from the game, despite the competitive outcome. Today, the U.S. Junior Amateur has become increasingly popular, with more than 3,000 entries on an annual basis, and is one of the most difficult to win with an international field and the tremendous number of fine young players. The championship has also become a pathway to great achievement. Tiger Woods (three times), Jordan Spieth (twice), Johnny Miller, David Duval, Scottie Scheffler and Will Zalatoris are among the notable champions.

The competitors in the 73rd U.S. Junior Amateur will also be part of history as the field size will increase from 156 players to 264, beginning with this year’s championship. It is all part of ongoing USGA initiatives to expand the Association’s support of junior golf. This is evidenced by raising the maximum age to 18, awarding a U.S. Open exemption to the champion and U.S. Amateur exemptions for the finalists. We hope these enhancements continue to make the U.S. Junior Amateur the most prestigious championship in junior golf.

Congratulations to the players that made it to The Country Club of North Carolina for the U.S. Junior Amateur Championship. We are thrilled to provide this opportunity to compete for a USGA championship, and hope your experience is memorable.

Kind regards,

Greg Sanfilippo Championship Director, U.S. Junior Amateur

elcome to The Village of Pinehurst, The Home of American Golf. Our Village and The Country Club of North Carolina have a long tradition of supporting golf tournaments, at both the amateur and professional levels. Your presence here this week is an exciting continuation of that tradition!

The Tufts family of Massachusetts founded Pinehurst as a health resort in 1895. The family engaged the famous landscape architect Frederick Law Olmsted to design the Village.

Olmsted used his trademark pattern of curvilinear streets moving out from the center, and adopted a New England architectural style for retail shops, hotels, and residences. Donald Ross developed the golf program and designed courses on one side of the Village. The game quickly became the primary focus of Pinehurst. Based on the achievements of Olmsted and Ross in our Village, the United States Secretary of the Interior awarded National Historic Landmark status to Pinehurst in 1996. In 2020, the USGA announced that it would establish a second headquarters here, Golf House Pinehurst, and it chose the Pinehurst Country Club as the first Anchor Site for U.S. Opens. Five Opens will be held here between 2024 and 2047.

The Village core or “Old Town” continues to this day as the site for specialty retailers and restaurants that meet the needs of our residents and guests. I hope you will take time to enjoy Pinehurst Village while you are here for the tournament.

Mr. Richard Tufts, President of Pinehurst 1935-62, and President of the USGA 1957-58, wrote these words in his Creed of the Amateur: “An amateur is one who competes in a sport for the joy of playing, for the companionship it affords, for health-giving exercise, and for the relaxation from more serious matters.” I hope the competition this week will be carried out in the spirit of that Creed, and that you all will have a wonderful time in Pinehurst, North Carolina.

Kind regards,

John C. Strickland Mayor of Pinehurst

O

n behalf of the members, directors, and staff of The Country Club of North Carolina, we welcome you to the 73rd U.S. Junior Amateur Championship.

We are honored to be the first site to host the expanded field of 264 of the best junior golfers in the world. Along with our partners from the United States Golf Association, we are pleased to offer the challenges of two fine golf courses in the beautiful setting of the North Carolina Sandhills and to extend the hospitality of people who appreciate your talent and your dedication to the game. We have worked closely with the State of North Carolina and the USGA to set appropriate medical protocols to assure that you can safely enjoy this week’s competition.

CCNC is proud of its golf legacy. More than 30 of our current members have competed in USGA national championships. This Junior Amateur is the third USGA championship to be held here: we hosted the 1980 U.S. Amateur, won by Hal Sutton, and the 2010 U.S. Girls’ Junior, won by Doris Chen. North Carolina native son Webb Simpson, winner of the 2012 U.S. Open, grew up playing golf here, and is the honorary chairman of this championship. For them and for many others victory at CCNC has been a step toward further success.

We are also immensely proud to be part of the finest golf community in the United States, often called the Home of American Golf. All of us share a love of this game and its traditions. CCNC has a deep relationship to Scotland, the historic birthplace of golf, most notably through a special affiliation with the iconic Royal Dornoch Golf Club, home club of the legendary golf architect Donald Ross. Ross’s emphasis on the combination of simplicity and subtlety is reflected in our Dogwood course, its original design the work of Ross protégé Ellis Maples. We urge you to feel that spirit of tradition in every step you take on both of our courses with their sweeping vistas of longleaf pine trees, and to savor the experience as a very special memory.

We hope that this 73rd U.S. Junior Amateur shows you at your best. We also hope that it encourages you to make new friends among the other fine golfers gathered here. No matter how you finish, we are thrilled to have you visit CCNC and become our friends too. We look forward to seeing you here again, and soon.

With warmest wishes,

Tom Beddow CCNC President

THE HISTORY

OF THE U.S. JUNIOR AMATEUR

I

n 1948, the USGA inaugurated the U.S. Junior Amateur Championship to determine the best junior golfer in the United States and also to help junior golfers learn how to realize the most from the game, win or lose.

The Junior Amateur was hardly the first junior competition to attract a national field.

The Western Junior had been established in 1914. In 1946, two more competitions appeared, each with a claim on the national title. One was sponsored by the U.S. Junior Chamber of Commerce, the other by the Hearst Newspapers.

The first U.S. Junior Amateur was played at the University of Michigan Golf Course and drew 495 entries. The starting field of 128 players was determined by sectional qualifying rounds at 41 sites.

Dean Lind, of Rockford, Ill., was the first champion.

Lind defeated Ken Venturi, of San Francisco, a future U.S. Open champion, in the final.

By 1963, entries had surged to 2,230, a record for the 13th consecutive year. At the time, there was no handicap limitation for entrants. That changed in 1964 when a handicap limit of 10 strokes was introduced. In 1999, the championship attracted a record 4,508 entries.

In 1978, the USGA conducted the Junior Amateur over the South Course of the Wilmington (Del.) Country Club, while the Girls’ Junior was being staged on the North Course. This was the first time the USGA conducted two national championships simultaneously at the same golf club.

12

73RD U.S. JUNIOR AMATEUR CHAMPIONSHIP

The Junior Amateur is among the most difficult of all USGA championships to win due to two factors: the age limit and the tremendous number of fine young players who enter each year. Only one player, Tiger Woods, has won the Junior Amateur three times, winning in 1991, 1992 and 1993. Jordan Spieth, who first won in 2009, became the second player to claim more than one title when he won the 2011 championship.

In fact, only seven players have reached the final at least twice: Mason Rudolph (1949, 1950), Eddie Pearce (1968, 1969), Mike Brannan (1971, 1973); Tim Straub (1982, 1983); Woods; Spieth; Jim Liu (2010, 2012); and Noah Goodwin (2016, 2017).

Woods, who was 15 years, 6 months and 28 days old when he won in 1991, was the youngest champion until 2010. At 14 years, 11 months and 15 days, Liu broke Woods’ record by more than six months with his victory.

The Junior Amateur has another, more dubious, distinction. It is the only USGA championship for which Jack Nicklaus has been eligible that he did not win at least once. Nicklaus qualified for the championship five times; however, his best finish came in 1956, when he was a semifinalist.

The Junior Amateur remains today an educational opportunity as well as a competitive outlet. Prechampionship players’ dinners have attracted guest speakers such as Francis Ouimet, Arnold Palmer, Johnny Miller and Annika Sorenstam, all willing to share their knowledge and experience with young players.

In 2020, the U.S. Junior Amateur was canceled due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

PRESTON SUMMERHAYS

WINS THE 2019 CHAMPIONSHIP

I

t was only fitting that Preston Summerhays received the flag from the 17th hole as a memento at the closing ceremony of the 72nd U.S. Junior Amateur Championship at Inverness Club. His performance on the 489-yard par 4 was the difference in his 2-and-1 victory over Bo Jin in the 36-hole final match.

In the morning 18, Summerhays pulled closer to Jin on the dogleg-left hole by purposely hitting his drive down the adjacent 16th fairway, knocking a wedge to 35 feet, and draining the right-to-left curling putt. In the afternoon, Summerhays hit “the shot of his life,” according to his father and coach, Boyd, to set up a match-clinching birdie that gave him the Junior Amateur trophy, as well as a berth in the 2020 U.S. Open Championship at Winged Foot Golf Club.

“I don’t even know how to explain how it felt,” said Summerhays, 16, of Scottsdale, Ariz., after his victory.

“It’s just one of my goals being accomplished.”

Summerhays seemed to have taken control in the seesaw match as it turned to the final nine. He birdied the par-4 10th and 11th holes to assume a 2-up lead, his largest of the day, thanks in part to a nice break on No. 11, when his wayward drive ended up on a forward tee for No. 13 and he capitalized by punching a 9-iron to 3 feet.

“I think just to get that momentum going on the last nine, that was a huge part of the match,” said Summerhays, who won his second consecutive Utah Amateur last week. “But it clearly wasn’t over yet.”

Summerhays bunkered his approach on No. 13, then left his next shot in the bunker on the way to a

20

73RD U.S. JUNIOR AMATEUR CHAMPIONSHIP

bogey as he conceded the hole to Jin. Trailing by only one hole, Jin had a solid opportunity to square the match on the 34th hole. He found the green with his approach on the 398-yard par 4 and Summerhays overshot the green, then left his up-and-down effort in the rough. Summerhays wedged on to 15 feet, and after Jin hit his first putt to 6 feet, Summerhays curled in his putt for bogey. When Jin’s par try slid by on the low side, the opportunity slipped past.

“Bo actually gave me a really nice read for my bogey putt,” said Summerhays. “His putt went by 6 or 7 feet, and I visualized my putt going in. I hit a great putt and it went in just how I wanted it to.”

“The three-putt on 16 was definitely not my best,” said Jin, 17, of the People’s Republic of China, who was attempting to become the first alternate to win the Junior Amateur. “It broke way more than I thought. I was just trying to go for my two-putt, but I hit a bad putt.”

It appeared that Jin would have another chance to tie Summerhays on the next hole, No. 17. Jin drove into the fairway and Summerhays again opted to play his tee shot down the adjacent 16th fairway. This time, he missed his target and left himself in the rough between the fairways, with a large tree blocking his view.

“It wasn’t a terrible lie, and I had 174 [yards] to the pin,” said Summerhays. “Going downwind, downhill, it really didn’t play 174, it played 145 to the front edge.

I was like, I could get a pitching wedge over that tree and land it front edge and roll it back. I hit it great and it ended up going to 8 feet.”

73RD

Jin then left his approach on the front of the green, skirted the hole with his long birdie try, then missed the comebacker. With two putts for the win, Summerhays made birdie to seal the victory.

“That’s just a shot of a lifetime at the right time in the biggest tournament,” said Boyd Summerhays, who coaches several PGA Tour players, including world No. 17 Tony Finau, and walked the matches with his son.

“He’ll never forget that and it’ll give him confidence when he’s in a tough spot. When he hit it, I texted my wife and said that was the greatest shot of his life.”

“My dad has raised me to let go of bad shots quickly,” said Summerhays. “He’s taught me that from a very young age, and that’s helped me throughout my entire career.”

Summerhays jumped ahead with a birdie on the first hole of the day, but Jin rebounded to win holes 3 and 4 with pars and retained the lead throughout the morning 18. Summerhays closed the deficit to 1 hole at the lunch break with back-to-back birdies on Nos. 17 and 18.

“Bo played great; he made some great putts,” said Summerhays. “I just stayed patient. When you’re in the final, the two players are obviously pretty good. On a course like this, you can have highs and lows. I knew that eventually I was going to start playing some better golf.”

NOTABLE

• Summerhays becomes the third U.S. Junior Amateur champion to earn an exemption into the U.S. Open. “I’ve had a goal since freshman year to play in a tour event before I graduate high school,” said Summerhays, who is No. 208 in the World Amateur Golf Ranking (WAGR). “It’s so cool this tournament gets an exemption. It’s a huge opportunity, and I think that opportunity is going to be awesome and amazing in my progression as a player.”

• Both Summerhays and runner-up Bo Jin, who is No. 777 in the WAGR, earned exemptions into the 119th U.S. Amateur Championship at Pinehurst Resort & Country Club. Both players also had sisters (Grace Summerhays and Jiarui “Joyce” Jin) who competed the following week in the 71st U.S. Girls’ Junior Championship next week at SentryWorld in Stevens Point, Wis.

THE COUNTRY CLUB OF NORTH CAROLINA WRITING A GOLF LEGACY

he rich legacy of Pinehurst, the “Home T of American Golf,” dates

back 125 years, and includes hundreds of championships and almost every renowned figure in American golfing history.

Situated in the heart of that golf mecca in the North Carolina Sandhills and central to the Pinehurst championship legacy is the Country Club of North Carolina.

Since its founding in 1963 CCNC has played host to USGA, PGA, AJGA and Southern Golf Association events, its own 50-year-running National Father-Son Invitational, and a host of state and regional amateur competitions.

Those crowned at CCNC include the likes of Jack Nicklaus, Hal Sutton, Ben Crenshaw, Tom Kite, Webb Simpson, and Len Mattiace, whose victories on its Dogwood course are among the proudest accomplishments of their amateur careers. The current membership of the club includes more than 30 members who have participated in USGA championships, including nine U.S. Junior Amateur alumni.

The next chapter in that legacy will be written with the playing of the 73rd U.S. Junior Amateur Championship July 19-24. The two rounds of stroke-play qualifying, featuring a

24

73RD U.S. JUNIOR AMATEUR CHAMPIONSHIP

newly expanded field of 264 players, will take advantage of both the Dogwood and Cardinal courses at CCNC, with the six rounds of match play producing the champion from the 64 qualifiers to follow on Dogwood.

— The uniqueness of CCNC begins with its founding. In 1962 a group of North Carolina businessmen at last found a piece of property on which to enact an idea that had been percolating among them for some years to create a golf club and residential community predicated on resort and semi-private clubs they enjoyed. The site was a 900-acre wild and heavily forested tract in the Sandhills. It had been owned since the 1920s by John Warren Watson, a successful Philadelphia engineer, who left unrealized at his death his own dream of a golf course and hotel on the site. (Watson’s house and boathouse still stand on the western shore of the 60-acre lake he created by damming three streams on the site, and that bears his name.)

Raleigh accountant Dick Urquhart, Greensboro investment banker Hargrove “Skipper” Bowles, Greensboro developer and builder

73RD Griswold Smith, and Raleigh attorney James Poyner were the four founding members in the venture, and they soon enticed more than three dozen charter members, representing a Who’s Who of North Carolina business and philanthropy, to join them. “What could be better than a good club centrally located for nearly all of us, ideally suited for golf, horses, hunting or just plain socializing?”

Urquhart asked in his letter of invitation.

Commitments from the charter members to pay pro rata shares of the estimated cost of development, in cash or endorsement of bank notes or purchase of building lots when these were platted, supplied the seed money for design, infrastructure, clubhouse, and an 18-hole golf course.

To give shape to their dream on the ground the founders called on the combined resources of a land planner and a golf architect. Willard Byrd had studied landscape architecture at N.C. State in the late-1940s and had opened a shop in the land-planning business in Atlanta in 1956. He was hired to draw up the master plan for CCNC, which would include approximately 300 residential lots averaging two acres apiece.

Ellis Maples, a golf architect whose father had been for decades construction superintendent and greenkeeper under Donald Ross at the Pinehurst courses and who had established a reputation as a designer in the Ross tradition, was retained to design the details of the golf course and oversee construction. Byrd created the course routing and Maples filled in the features—the green shapes and undulations, bunkers and placement of hazards. The names of both men appear on the blueprints for every hole. Though the founders were intent on

integrating a fine golf course with attractive residential sites, Dick Urquhart insisted that the finest golf experience be the dominant idea: “Our concept for this course is that when great golf courses are discussed, The Country Club of North Carolina will be mentioned early.

We have spared no costs to make it so. We went all out to make it the best golf course possible.”

The formal incorporation of CCNC and the start of construction on the golf course both took place in early 1963. Completed in December that same year, the course quickly earned the reputation for excellence its founders envisioned. CCNC was one of the original members of Golf Digest’s 100 Greatest Golf Courses and was the site in 1971 and 1972 of the U.S. Professional Match Play Championship on the PGA Tour (won

by DeWitt Weaver and Jack Nicklaus) and the 1980 U.S. Amateur (won by Hal Sutton).

It has also hosted seven Southern Amateurs (with Ben Crenshaw, Len Mattiace, and Webb Simpson among the winners). It was the venue for the 2010 U.S. Girls Junior Championship, won by Doris Chen. Every summer since 1971 its father-son tournament has attracted teams from across the country; future PGA

73RD Tour stars Tom Kite and Scott Hoch and their fathers took trophies here. Simpson, a native North Carolinian who grew up playing golf at CCNC, is Honorary Chairman of this 73rd Junior Amateur.

The two original nines proved so popular— and so busy — that the club retained Willard Byrd to build nine additional holes on land acquired in a property swap with the Tufts family, owners of the Pinehurst Resort.

Opened for play in 1970, it was named “The Cardinal,” after the North Carolina state bird, and the two nines of the original course became “Longleaf Pines” and “Dogwood,” after the tree varieties dominating the landscape.

Three nine-hole tracks, each of them starting and finishing at the clubhouse, created the option of three Dogwood No. 3 different 18in 1963 (above) and 2021 hole playing combinations.

Then in the late-1970s Urquhart acquired additional property on the club’s western boundary from Robert Trent Jones, who in the early 1970s had spent time in the area renovating the original Pinehurst No. 4 course. As part of the transaction Urquhart commissioned Jones to design nine new holes adjacent to Byrd’s nine. Now that CCNC had 36 holes, not 27, it dropped the convention of separate names for each of its nines: the two original nines became “The

26

73RD U.S. JUNIOR AMATEUR CHAMPIONSHIP

Dogwood” and the combined Byrd and Jones nines “The Cardinal.”

In 2001 CCNC hired Arthur Hills to redesign the Cardinal course and better integrate the Byrd and Jones designs. Hills, a Toledo-based golf architect, rebuilt the greens with Penn A-1, at the time the best grass for putting surfaces in the “transition” zone between the Bermudaoriented South and bent-oriented Northeast.

Those greens have since been converted to Champion Bermuda “We did some muchneeded tree clearing, rebuilt all the greens, tees and bunkers to create a more cohesive, integrated course, consistent in character from beginning to end,” says Drew Rogers, a designer on Hills’s staff at the time.

“That was a major overhaul,” says longtime Director of Golf Jeff Dotson.

“The Cardinal essentially became an Arthur Hills course. It has a look and feel to it now that runs from one through 18.”

In 2016 the Dogwood Course received an even more comprehensive renovation, directed by golf architect Kris Spence and completed as part of a $10 million capital improvement project that also included construction of a new golf shop, grill, and locker room, a tennis and fitness center and interior redesign of the existing clubhouse.

The greens were converted to Champion Bermuda and the tees and fairways to Zeon

73RD zoysia grass, a heat tolerant strain that doesn’t need over-seeding in the winter and gives golfers an outstanding surface from which to clip iron shots and fairway woods. New drainage was installed, all bunkers were rebuilt and some tees lengthened. The tree coverage that had grown up over time was thinned, improving air flow and sunlight.

Course. That championship was cancelled because of the Covid-19 pandemic, and as a result CCNC is the first club to host the larger field. Greg Sanfilippo, the USGA’s director of the Junior Amateur, says the two CCNC courses taken together set up perfectly to host and challenge this larger group of the best junior players from around the country.

Buck Adams Jr., son of CCNC’s first Golf Professional, credits Spence with retaining the character of the original course. “It reminds me of the course I knew growing up. It’s running firm and fast, just as it did in the old days.” Adds Dotson, “Dogwood had been one of the top courses in the Southeast for half a century. We needed to set it up for the next 50 years.”

“We structure our championships as the ultimate tests in the game,” he says. “We want to make sure we’re identifying the best players through shot making, testing every club in the bag, controlling spin and distance, and having the mental and physical resolve and ability to work through various situations. The courses at CCNC will really force players to execute sound judgment through each hole.”

Both Dogwood and Cardinal consistently feature in rankings on the national and regional levels. The North Carolina Golf Panel recently ranked Dogwood No. 3 in the state and Cardinal No. 16. Dogwood in particular has been the course of record when CCNC has hosted Carolinas Golf Association, Southern Golf Association, and USGA events, but Dotson notes that the Cardinal is absolutely good enough to be a companion course to the Dogwood. (Their course ratings for this Junior Amateur prove the point, with Dogwood at 75.7/140 and Cardinal at 75.9/145). Cardinal has been used so seldom simply because the nines don’t return to the clubhouse, making it a logistical challenge.

“Between the Art Hills project on the Cardinal and now the Kris Spence work on the Dogwood, I’ll put our 36 holes up against any similar club or resort anywhere,” Dotson says.

“Design, challenge, playability, beauty—we have a really strong pair of golf courses.”

The Junior Amateur was originally to have been expanded to 264 players for the 2020 championship at Hazeltine National in Chaska, Minnesota, with qualifying rounds also played on the nearby public Chaska Town

Sanfilipo also emphasizes the outstanding fit of Dogwood for match play, especially its closing holes: “You have a long par-three, a medium par-four and a reachable par-five.

But there’s water on every hole and a lot of risk-reward. Each hole will force the player to make some decisions and then execute a shot. I think it’s going to make for a great championship.”

The club is thoroughly prepared for this Junior Amateur, with 51 committees and a volunteer army of some 700 individuals whose mission is to make this week’s golf experience an exceptional one. A pair of fine courses, a club with a commitment to the finest playing conditions, a gathering of the best young players. The pieces are in place for a memorable championship, as CCNC adds another chapter to the Pinehurst golf legacy and welcomes the rising stars of golf. Johnny Miller, Gary Koch, David Duval, Tiger Woods, and Jordan Spieth have won the U.S. Junior Amateur. The odds are good that a decade from now the 2021 Junior Amateur champion will be another name on that leaderboard.

HOLE 1 PAR 4 • 430 YDS

Bill Clement, CCNC President 2010-2015 A wonderful starting hole. Long hitters will test the bunker on the left side of the fairway, if successful leaving a short iron to the green. Starting right of the bunker mandates a subtle right to left shot to keep the ball out of the rough on the right. The most difficult pin placement will be back right, where the green slopes away, demanding excellent speed control with a putter. Birdies will be made but trouble lurks with a misplaced tee shot.

HOLE 2 PAR 4 • 425 YDS

Hal Sutton, 1980 U.S. Amateur Champion The challenges of this dogleg left are easy to see from the tee. The fairway rises, then flattens at the turn. Bunkers left and right of the landing area call for a well-placed tee shot, and a serious fall away on the left side toward a small pond and a waste area forward of the turn will punish an aggressive drive that tries a shortcut which doesn’t work. The green is large and receptive, with a bunker forward left and only a modest drop right, plus subtle breaks as it rises toward the back edge.

I chipped in from 40 yards on this hole, on the way to a 9-8 win where I went four under par for the 28 holes of that 36-hole final. My victory at CCNC was one of four amateur events I won in 1980. I was 22 years old, with my mind set on turning pro, and playing that well on this tough course against great competition gave me confidence that I was headed in the right direction.

HOLE 3 PAR 3 • 154 YDS

Harold Varner III, CCNC “Ambassador” The view from this tee is so beautiful, capturing everything I love about CCNC. The yardage makes you think #3 is super easy, but the island green is far enough below the tee to throw you off. I love any par three that’s short and sneaky hard. A back pin placement requires a really precise shot. The water is in play long and right and a bunker shot from the left trap to a back pin as the green rolls away to the water is challenging. Just a neat hole. I’ve only had 2 holes in one — humble brag — and this would be the coolest hole for having another.

HOLE 4 PAR 4 • 387 YDS

Will Huntley, CCNC Men’s Club Champion 2011, 2015, 2017 & 1993 U.S. Junior Amateur Competitor The 4th hole received significant modifications during the course renovation in 2016 and is now one of the more challenging holes on the entire course. The green complex here is elevated and surrounded by bunkers and collection areas where the short game will be tested. Players have two options off the tee to set up an approach shot where distance control and accuracy are paramount. The safe play is to lay back short. A flat lie will leave a 140-yard shot depending on hole location, but be careful: anything past the middle of the green and to the right will funnel down to a collection area, leaving a delicate pitch back up to the flag. Par from here will be tough as the green runs away toward the water and getting it close is very difficult. The aggressive play will be a drive over the fairway bunkers, which will kick left and leave a short pitch to the flag for the easiest birdie opportunity. Anything left of the fairway bunkers and long has the potential to kick left and forward and will definitely bring the water into play. With the proximity to the lake and wind direction this green tends to be a little firmer than others, which needs to be accounted for.

HOLE 5 PAR 5 • 526 YDS

Tom Kite, winner with his father of the 1971 CCNC National Father-Son Invitational No. 5 could be reachable in two by the longest drivers, but is still quite playable for the average to short hitters. The fairway crests at 260 yards and gently slopes downwards towards the green, but a pond 50 yards short of the green is a formidable guardian. For shorter hitters, an optional bailout area left offers an alternative to going for the green. This is not the longest par 5 on the course, but I think it’s the one requiring a most serious decision. It is the perfect match play risk-reward hole and should provide plenty of excitement for golfers and spectators.

— My Dad and I thoroughly enjoyed our experience in the National Father Son Championship It was the summer before my senior year at the University of Texas, and this win along with my father’s support and the guidance of Harvey Penick, the Hall of Fame Teaching Professional, contributed to my decision to turn pro after graduation. I still treasure the memories of playing with Dad at CCNC.

HOLE 6 PAR 4 • 440 YDS

Ryan Fox, CCNC Men’s Club Champion 2013, 2014 At 440 yards, No. 6 plays uphill and usually into the wind. It is a demanding hole that requires a well-struck drive and precise second shot. Your drive is slightly uphill and partially blind. The ideal tee shot is up the left side of the fairway and avoids the bunker on the right. The second shot too is slightly uphill, to a large well-bunkered green with its highest point in the middle back. Putting toward the front or toward the back left can be very treacherous and requires surgical speed control. Par is a very good score on this hole.

Jeff Dotson, CCNC Director of Golf One of the hardest par 4’s on the course, No. 7 is a dogleg left, forcing the player to choose between trying to carry the bunkers in the corner of the dogleg, playing a precise right-to-left tee shot, or hitting a fairway wood or long iron right of the bunkers. The hole slopes sharply away from the dogleg, which makes finding the fairway problematic for even a well-played tee shot. The well-bunkered green is relatively flat overall but putts on the front third can be speedy.

HOLE 8 PAR 3 • 223 YDS

Tom Beddow, CCNC President The CCNC scorecard ranks this the toughest of the par 3’s on Dogwood. The green is deceptively uphill from the tee and angles away left to right, only the front left section visible. Two shallow bunkers left and the deep one right define the edges and will catch an overcooked cut or draw. The green surface slopes left to right and mostly back to front, except for a light fall away to the back right corner. It’s always better to be short than long.

Many great pin placements are available, and the hole is consistently interesting and challenging.

HOLE 9 PAR 5 • 603 YDS

Ben Crenshaw, Two-time Masters Champion, golf course architect, 1971 Southern Amateur Champion My victory in the Southern Amateur at CCNC was the highlight of a great summer. The field was really competitive, and I was playing against people like Gary Koch, Andy North, CCNC member Dale Morey, and my Texas Longhorn teammate Tom Kite. I shared the lead at the end of the 3rd round with a 68, and took it for good on the very first hole of the final, finishing at 7 under.

Dogwood No. 9 played “only” 570 yards at the time, 43 yards shorter than today. But the shot requirements are pretty much the same. The bunkers left and right of the landing area off the tee are still there, newer bunkers short of the green can catch an errant second shot, and the green, with bunkers left and right and its back third sloping away to a dense understory, demands a precise approach. A fair challenge on a fine golf course.

HOLE 10 PAR 4 • 401 YDS

Scott Lincicome, CCNC Men’s Club Champion 2006, 2012 No. 10 is one of the straightest holes on either CCNC course. A simple design: just over 400 yards, with a few bunkers down the right and longleaf pines lining the fairway left and right. It’s best to approach the green from the right side of the fairway, given that the green angles forward from left to right. More than likely a driving iron or three wood put just left of the fairway bunkers, around the 140 mark, is the safe play. If you decide to use driver and try to fly the bunkers, a good short approach can mean birdie; if missed left, though, it becomes a hard par. The green runs away from its high point just right of and back of center. A middle pin means unpredictable movement, difficult to see. A ball hit back right will assuredly roll off into the collection area.

HOLE 11 PAR 4 • 426 YDS

Peter Green, CCNC member, qualifier in 2 U.S. Junior Amateur, 13 U.S. Amateur, 3 U.S. Mid-Amateur, 1 Senior Amateur, and 3 U.S. Open championships No. 11 is the beginning of the most scenic section of Dogwood, offering a view of our two largest lakes and the connecting sluiceway. For longer hitters carrying the water offers the reward of a shorter approach; it also carries great risk, with a bunker and tall pine on the right side blocking the landing area. A layup in the fairway short of the stream bed leaves a shot of 160-185 yards to the center of the green. Landing right brings that tree into play, while center and left give clear access to all pin positions. The bunker right guarding the green is deep, but the bunker left is more difficult because of the slope of the green. The green itself has a ridge in the middle and slopes from back to front, with a false front. The most difficult pin positions are back left and back right.

Good luck.

HOLE 12 PAR 5 • 561 YDS

Jack Nicklaus, winner of the 1972 U.S. Professional Match Play Championship at CCNC The dogleg left turn on this beautiful par 5 is so sharp and so far off the tee that only the very longest hitters are likely to reach the green in two. The second shot flirts with a pair of bunkers beyond and outside the turn, and anything hit too long can leave a player with an approach over a deep left front bunker to a large green that looks safe, but actually runs away back right. A sound strategy here is to aim the tee shot toward that solitary pine tree on the ridge at the outside of the turn. The longer the drive, the better position for a mid-iron into the pin. This is a hole that fit my eye and rewarded length.

HOLE 13 PAR 3 • 196 YDS

Mark Reinemann, 73rd U.S. Junior Amateur Committee Co-chair The beautiful 13th is considered by many the “signature hole” of the Dogwood Course. No one will argue that this downhill par 3 with Watson Lake in the background is beautiful. But the shot into the green is devilishly tricky given that the back third of the green gently runs away and any ball landing past the middle of the green may not hold the putting surface. Also, good luck with your recovery from the deep greenside bunker on the right. Despite these challenges, this green is one of the flattest on either CCNC golf course.

HOLE 14 PAR 4 • 444 YDS

Len Mattiace, 1985 Southern Amateur Champion At 444 yards this hole is just a few yards shorter than it was when I played it. It begins with a long carry over water to a fairway rising toward the green. The bunker left just beyond the water is easy enough to carry, but another bunker forward right at about 265 yards can be a problem. Keeping left up the hill avoids a bunker short of the green and another on its right side. The green has a serious false front that will reject a misplaced approach shot.

My win at the 1985 Southern Amateur at CCNC catapulted me onto the national amateur scene. I birdied the final hole to finish with 292, hoping my score might be good enough for second or third place. But the leaders all stumbled, and only John Trivison managed to tie me. I beat him on Dogwood No. 3, the island hole, in the playoff. I was a 17-year old high-school senior, headed for Wake Forest, and the youngest player since Bobby Jones to win the Southern Amateur.

CCNC was an important step toward my dream of a professional career.

HOLE 15 PAR 4 • 466 YDS

Gordon “Buddy” Baker, CCNC Member and U.S. Junior Amateur Champion 1958 The challenges of this hole are all in sight from the elevated tee. The landing area is framed by a pair of bunkers down the right side and single bunker at the outside of the turn on the left, with out-of-bounds stakes lining either side. The ideal line is over the left edge of the right-side bunkers. Short and right means a long recovery shot from sand, and long and too far left could mean the same thing. The green is guarded by a row of bunkers on the right, and by another single bunker left, with water outside that and circling behind. The green runs to center from both front and back, with its low point center left. If you’re in any doubt about controlling your approach, favoring right center is the safe play. Birdie is always possible. Take some time to enjoy the panaromic view of Lake Watson after you putt.

HOLE 16 PAR 3 • 239 YDS

Chad Day, CCNC Men’s Club Champion 2019 & 2006 U.S. Junior Amateur Competitor The second and arguably toughest of Dogwood’s four-hole finish. On the tee you get a clear view of all four holes as they round Watson Lake, bringing with it a glimpse of what you face as you try to get to the house. A newly added tee box stretches an already daunting tee shot even longer to almost 240 yards. Pay close attention to the wind while on the 15th green as the teeing ground on No. 16 is sheltered by trees, giving a false impression of the true wind direction off the water. This hole can play very differently depending on tee placement, but no matter where it is set you will want to utilize the natural slope on the right half of green to your advantage to either land a soft cut into or to work a draw off into a back left pin. Missing right will often leave you extremely short-sided, while the front left, short of or right of the bunker, leaves an uphill look to most pins and is always a safe alternative. A par on No. 16 will pick up shots on the field.

HOLE 17 PAR 4 • 420 YDS

Robby Bennett, 73rd U.S. Junior Amateur Committee Co-chair A wonderful hole, a slightly uphill, modest dogleg left that can be very challenging if your tee shot is not in the left center of the fairway. The green slopes from right to left and from back to front and punishes an approach shot long or right of the target. Large bunkers guard the right and left of the green and are not terrible places to be. A new tee box installed this past year, playing at approximately 300 yards, may be used during match play. It creates the exciting option of going for the green with 3 wood or hybrid and trying to “make something happen.”

HOLE 18 PAR 5 • 515 YDS

Webb Simpson, CCNC member and 2007 Southern Amateur Champion I love risk/reward par 5’s and No. 18 is a really fun finishing hole that gives you options off the tee and on your second shot. I like to hit driver or 3-wood just left of the fairway bunkers, which leaves me 210-220 for my second shot. With a good second I’ll have an eagle putt and hopefully make birdie at worst. If I miss the green the bunkers and slopes along with the severity of the putting surface make getting up and down difficult. It’s a beautiful hole with lots of strategy, and a great finish to a great course!

CARDINAL COURSE HOLE 1 PAR 4 • 323 YDS

Descriptions provided by CCNC Director of Golf Jeff Dotson Many players will try to drive the green but the small, severe putting surface demands very precise approaches. Players must place their second shots in the proper quadrant of the green to have a reasonable birdie putt. Players choosing to layup off the tee must avoid the fairway bunkers left and right.

73RD U.S. JUNIOR AMATEUR CHAMPIONSHIP

41

HOLE 2 PAR 4 • 522 YDS

A par 5 made a more challenging par 4 for this championship. The tee shot must avoid the cluster of bunkers framing the fairway. A good drive will leave long hitters a medium or long iron into the green, but with the water close by accuracy is imperative. Players forced to lay up on their second will favor the right side for a better angle into the green.

HOLE 3 PAR 3 • 192 YDS

With water short and left players will favor the right side, but the large ridge feeding out of the hill divides the green in half, making club selection critical. Missing the green right will result in a tough recovery, with the green sloping sharply to the water.

42

73RD U.S. JUNIOR AMATEUR CHAMPIONSHIP

HOLE 4 PAR 4 • 418 YDS

The tee shot requires great precision as the fairway narrows in the landing area and slopes toward the water which runs the length of the hole. Players must execute accurate approaches to hole locations along the front and right of the green as water lurks nearby.

73RD U.S. JUNIOR AMATEUR CHAMPIONSHIP

43

HOLE 5 PAR 4 • 398 YDS

The elevated green is very deep from front to back, but also two-tiered and narrow. Two bunkers guard the left side and hollows on the right make recoveries from that side extremely challenging with the green sloping away. The lower shelf is quite small, and made more challenging by a false front requiring a very accurate approach shot when the pin is located there.

HOLE 6 PAR 4 • 481 YDS

The longest par 4 on the course is also very narrow, requiring two well-played shots to reach the putting surface. The swale right of the green makes recoveries from that side problematic. Players will be happy with par here.

44

73RD U.S. JUNIOR AMATEUR CHAMPIONSHIP

HOLE 7 PAR 3 • 185 YDS

The small elevated green is guarded in front by a deep bunker. It is also narrow front to back, requiring precise distance control. A ridge divides the green into left and right sections that puts a premium on line. For players on the wrong side of the ridge a three-putt is a real possibility.

HOLE 8 PAR 4 • 381 YDS

Players are faced with a choice on the tee—layup short of the fairway bunkers, leaving an uphill shot to a small heavily-bunkered green, or choose the bolder play with driver. Those choosing the latter must execute a very accurate shot, but if successful are rewarded with an approach inside 100 yards. Players missing the fairway off the tee will struggle to make par, with trouble surrounding the green. This is truly a great short par 4.

73RD U.S. JUNIOR AMATEUR CHAMPIONSHIP

45

HOLE 9 PAR 5 • 585 YDS

Good tee shots will give many players a shot at the green with their second, but trees and bunkers right will make recoveries from that side chancy. Players laying up will favor the left side but must avoid the fairway bunker. A long, narrow green that angles away from the player makes club selection tougher.

HOLE 10 PAR 4 • 403 YDS

The landing area here has a left to right kick, and is divided into an upper level of fairway and a lower level of rough. The two small bunkers about 100 yards from the green will dictate club selection off the tee. A well-placed drive leaves one of the easiest approach shots on the course provided the hole isn’t placed near the water on the right. The green is wide open in front but putts toward the water are more downhill than its appearance suggests.

46

73RD U.S. JUNIOR AMATEUR CHAMPIONSHIP

HOLE 11 PAR 5 • 549 YDS

Many players will be tempted to go for this green in two, but accuracy is vital as trouble surrounds the small green. Shots long or left will face very difficult recoveries with the green sloping toward the water and trees possibly in play. Players laying up will play short or left of the pond depending on the hole location. This hole presents a good birdie opportunity but there will be plenty of double bogeys.

73RD U.S. JUNIOR AMATEUR CHAMPIONSHIP

47

HOLE 12 PAR 3 • 200 YDS

The hole location will dictate strategy on this par 3. A front location requires a very accurate approach as the green is very narrow and has bunkers on both sides. The right bunker is the deepest and most difficult on the course. The deep green is much more receptive in the back half but requires one or two more clubs to reach.

HOLE 13 PAR 4 • 440 YDS

With no fairway bunkers to frame the hole, players may struggle picking the line for their tee shots. The preferred line on this dogleg left is down the left side, shortening the hole but more importantly providing a better angle into the green. The right side of the green is shallow, guarded by a deep bunker in front and sloping away from the player. Approaches to that part of the green demand great accuracy.

48

73RD U.S. JUNIOR AMATEUR CHAMPIONSHIP

HOLE 14 PAR 4 • 408 YDS

Water left and trees right frame the narrow fairway, making this the toughest tee shot on the course. The bunkers in the upward sloping fairway are in play for most players, which will cause many to select a long iron or fairway wood from the tee. The green at the top of the rise is elevated and partially hidden from the landing area, making club and target selection difficult.

That the green is divided by a slope running diagonally from front center toward the back left also means that it will seriously challenge longer putts. Shots missed left or short are much preferable to right or long.

HOLE 15 PAR 5 • 610 YDS

Even though this is the longest hole on the course it plays downhill all the way to the green, and longer hitters can reach the putting surface with two good shots. The fairway slopes softly right to left and sits at an angle to the tee, making the landing area a bit smaller than it appears. Tee shots missed left will likely result in a challenging recovery, which could make reaching the green in three difficult. Players laying up with their second shots should favor the left side for a better angle into the long green. A low grassy area and hidden bunker will catch many offline shots left before they reach the water, but shots missed right will leave a testy bunker shot, and shots long are likely to be wet. This is truly a magnificent three-shotter!

73RD U.S. JUNIOR AMATEUR CHAMPIONSHIP

49

HOLE 16 PAR 4 • 467 YDS

The longer hitters have a clear advantage on this long par 4, as tee shots that reach the downslope 290 yards off the tee will pick up an extra 10-20 yards. The green is open in front but slopes hard to the left, and a ridge feeding out of the bunker on the right divides the green in two, making approach shots to the back half very difficult. The length and challenge of the approach make this one of the hardest holes on the course. Players will be very happy to walk off No. 16 with par!

HOLE 17 PAR 3 • 217 YDS

This beautiful par 3 is open on the left but protected by three bunkers on the right side. A ridge separates the back part of the green, making chips, pitches, and putts from one side of the green to the other very tough to judge. The left side of the green is relatively flat but putts on the right can have a good bit of break.

50

73RD U.S. JUNIOR AMATEUR CHAMPIONSHIP

HOLE 18 PAR 4 • 431 YDS

An accurate tee shot is a must on this beautiful hole with the fairway sloping away from the dogleg and trees affecting shots played from the right side. The tiered green is open on the right but approach shots to the back left shelf must be very precise, with the carry over water the entire way. A fitting finish to a great course!
