Caddie Tradition
The Beverly Country Club has a long, proud relationship with the Western Golf and the Western Golf Association, a charitable trust which provides full-tuition scholarships renewable for up to four years to deserving caddies. The program started in 1930 and was originally endowed with the donated golf winnings of Chick Evans, all of whose golf winnings went toward the scholarships as a way of preserving his amateur status. Today the Evans Scholarship Program is supported by tens of thousands of contributors across the country, one of the largest of which is the Beverly Country Club. With nearly 300 of the total 8,500 Evans Scholar alumni, the Beverly Country Club also boasts the record for the largest number of Evans Scholar alumni of any club in America.

Famous quotes containing the word tradition:
“The words of the Constitution ... are so unrestricted by their intrinsic meaning or by their history or by tradition or by prior decisions that they leave the individual Justice free, if indeed they do not compel him, to gather meaning not from reading the Constitution but from reading life.”
—Felix Frankfurter (1882–1965)
