The Grove Country Club

Long Grove, Illinois

June 15-19, 2020

First held in 1920, the Women’s Western Junior draws an outstanding field of competitors, many of whom go on to become top amateur and college players. Notable past champions include Cristie Kerr, Grace Park and Nancy Lopez.

The field is comprised of top-ranked amateurs who are 18 years or younger and carry a handicap index of 14.4 or lower. The tournament begins with 36 holes of stroke play to establish 16 match play qualifiers.

In 1930, the Western Golf Association and celebrated amateur golfer Charles “Chick” Evans Jr. established the Evans Scholars Foundation. Their mission was to provide full tuition and housing college scholarships to caddies with limited financial means.

The first two Evans Scholars enrolled at Northwestern University in 1930. Since then, we’ve helped more than 11,000 hardworking young men and women get to college. Our Evans Scholars Program addresses the barriers to college graduation faced by students and prepares them for a lifetime of success.

The Evans Scholarship is a full tuition and housing college scholarship for high-achieving caddies with limited financial means. To qualify, caddies must meet the requirements of having a strong caddie record, excellent academics, demonstrated financial need and outstanding character.

Evans Scholars attend one of 18 leading universities nationwide. They live and work together in community, with each chapter electing its own officers, running social and service activities and participating in campus programs.

The support provided by the Evans Scholars Program helps students achieve a cumulative 3.3 GPA and 95 percent graduation rate. Over 98 percent of 2019 graduates were employed full time or attending graduate school within six months.

Our Alumni make up a vibrant network of successful men and women committed to giving back. They have become successful teachers, doctors, lawyers and CEOs across the country and the world. They run major corporations; are industry leaders in fields like transportation, oil and medicine; and have been appointed by U.S. presidents to serve on advisory committees.

We're proud of the history of golf as a walking game. The core values that underscore a caddie's presence on the course are the same ones that make them successful later in life.

That's why we help young men and women learn to caddie, assist clubs in starting new caddie programs and work to improve existing programs.

The WGA Caddie Academy is a special summer program that provides caddie opportunities to under-resourced high school students who ultimately hope to pursue an Evans Scholarship. Students come from all across the United States to caddie at clubs in the Chicago area while living together.

Through the Caddie Academy, they have the chance to earn money, meet role models and learn valuable life lessons on and off the golf course. After successfully completing three summers, they become eligible to apply for the Evans Scholarship.

Since 2012, 55 graduates of the Caddie Academy have earned full tuition and housing Evans Scholarships.

Carry the Game is a nonprofit advocacy group aimed at increasing the number and diversity of youth caddies nationwide. By promoting the life-changing benefits of caddying, Carry the Game is preserving the tradition of golf for its future by developing lifelong players.

This WGA-led effort also receives support from partners like the World Golf Foundation, United States Golf Association, PGA of America, The First Tee and Youth on Course.

The Caddie Hall of Fame highlights the tradition and importance of caddying by recognizing individuals who devoted their lives to the game of golf through caddying or by supporting the role of caddies.

Past Hall of Fame inductees include Jack Nicklaus, Tom Watson, Charles “Chick” Evans Jr., Francis Ouimet, Steve Williams, Jim “Bones” Mackay and the Murray Brothers.

Your partnership with the Evans Scholars Foundation will help expand this important program. You can give more young women the opportunity to caddie and earn a life-changing college scholarship.

The Evans Scholars Program provides students with a full continuum of support, guiding them from caddie, to college, to career. Our Career Services Program prepares Evans Scholars for life after graduation with a full suite of career services tools.

Students can take advantage of the Evans Scholars job board, a mentoring program with Alumni and Program supporters, weekly newsletters, career nights at Evans Scholarship Houses and an annual career services webinar.

The Western Golf Association and Evans Scholars Foundation host hundreds of events nationwide each year. These events are important fundraisers that make it possible to send deserving caddies to college.

Sponsoring an event enables you to support the Evans Scholars Program while getting your company in front of donors, WGA Directors, Alumni and current Evans Scholars.

The Western Golf Association’s Green Coat Gala is one of the largest annual fundraisers for the Evans Scholars Foundation. More than 350 of our most generous supporters will attend the black-tie affair in Chicago, which is headlined by a legend from the game of golf.

The Birdie Ball is hosted by the Evans Scholars Foundation’s Leadership Council, a board of young professionals who serve as ambassadors for the Evans Scholars Program through fundraising and Scholar mentoring.

This event attracts more than 350 young Alumni and Program supporters each year, with proceeds benefiting the Evans Scholars Foundation.

The Evans Scholars Program’s annual costs for the 1,010 Scholars in school are $25 million – and rising every year. You can help us meet the rising cost of college tuition while we award more Evans Scholarships to young men and women with financial need.

By supporting the Evans Scholars Foundation, you’ll help send deserving caddies to college and enable us to provide the additional academic, professional and social resources that make the Evans Scholars Program stand out from other scholarship programs.

Endowed Named Evans Scholarships honor a friend, loved one or organization and provide permanent support to the Evans Scholars Foundation.

Create an Endowed Named Scholarship by making a gift of $125,00 to our endowment fund, payable over up to five years. The Scholarship can be awarded to an Evans Scholar based on the major, geographical region or country club of your choosing, and the designation will follow them throughout their college career.

Annual letters from recipients and our Endowed Named Scholarship events give you a unique opportunity to meet your Evans Scholar and develop a personal relationship. We’ll also recognize your contribution in our annual Donors Report.

The Match Play Challenge is the major gifts element of our annual Par Club fundraising campaign. Each year, our Match Play Partners make commitments of $50,000 or greater to the campaign. Those funds are pooled together and used to match the gifts of $2,500 and greater we receive.

This initiative has been a game-changer for young caddies nationwide. Our supporters have made more than $108 million in commitments through the Match Play Challenge since it launched for the first time in 2011. Those critical funds have enabled us to provide more young men and women with the life-changing opportunity of a college education.

The Promise Campaign is the first comprehensive fundraising effort in the history of the Evans Scholars Foundation.

Through this campaign, we promise to:

Strengthen our annual operating campaign to maintain our ability to support more Evans Scholars in school
Develop the Evans Scholars Program by establishing new chapters nationwide
Expand the WGA Caddie Academy and develop the Career Services Program
Secure the legacy of the Evans Scholars Program by bolstering our endowment fund

When presenting a player’s bag during their pre-shot routine, be aware of how and where you position the bag. The clubs should face the golfer’s ball, with the bottom of the bag facing away. Before your player takes their shot, position yourself and the bag a few paces to the side of the ball and slightly behind.

If your player enters a bunker during their round, it’s important to use the correct raking method to fill and smooth the disturbed sand. Use long, smooth passes with the bunker rake, and be careful to disperse the sand evenly.

A caddie is always mindful of their role as stewards to the golf course. This includes correcting anything out of place, especially fixing pitch marks and replacing divots.

Pitch marks are impressions left in the green after a ball hits the turf, which results in an unsmooth putting surface if not properly repaired. Using a pitch mark tool, your goal is to make the surface as smooth as possible.

A divot is a piece of sod or turf cut loose by a player’s club after making a stroke. When this happens, there are a few different ways you can repair the damaged area.
