Michigan Amateur Returns to its Roots at Belvedere Golf Club

Charlevoix course to host the Michigan Amateur for a record 40th time in 2014

FARMINGTON HILLS – The Michigan Amateur returns to Belvedere Golf Club for the 40th time and

first time since 2003 for its 103rd edition. As the state’s oldest and most prestigious amateur tournament

moves forward in its second century, it seems only fitting that the host be a historical venue such as Belve-

dere. This William Watson design is known as one of the classic courses in Michigan, and was a childhood

favorite of golfing legend Tom Watson.

The Michigan Amateur, which features two days of stroke play and six rounds of match play, promis-

es to be exciting again this year. With match play, anything can happen and there have been some exciting

finishes over the years. Last year, Andrew Chapman of Traverse City drained a 20-foot birdie putt on the

18th hole of Muskegon Country Club to defeat Mike Ignasiak, 1 up, for the title.

The 103rd Michigan Amateur champion will have certainly earned the title because he will be the last

man standing after a grueling week of competition. First, he must make the cut after 36 holes of stroke play

to qualify for match play. Then, he must have his best game over three more days and grind out six consec-

utive match-play victories. This year’s field includes 2009 champion and reigning GAM Mid-Amateur Champi-

on Tom Werkmeister, reigning GAM Champion Scott Strickland, reigning Michigan Junior State Amateur and

GAM Tournament of Champions winner Donnie Trosper, and 2011 U.S. Mid-Amateur Champion Randy Lew-

is. In addition, top senior amateur golfers Ian Harris and Greg Reynolds are in the field.

The GAM is excited to return to Belvedere and Michigan Amateur Championship Chair and GAM

Championship Committee Chair Steve Braun says the club is elated to host the 103rd Michigan Amateur. In

fact, the membership will make up a large part of the hundreds of volunteers assisting with the Champion-

ship.

“Belvedere Golf Club is thrilled to have the Michigan Amateur return to the course that was its home

for so many years,” said Braun. “The Michigan Amateur is a major part of the club’s rich history, and to

have it here in 2014 only adds to that enduring legacy.”
