OLD WAVERLY TO HOST 2015
SOUTHERN AMATEUR
We are very pleased to announce that Old Waverly Golf Club will
host the 2015 Southern Amateur. The Southern Amateur is conducted by
the Southern Golf Association. This event has become one of the most
prestigious amateur golf tournaments in the world. One hundred sixty- six
of the best golfers from the United States and abroad will compete.
The Southern Amateur dates back to 1902 and its Champions' Roster is
like reading a Who’s Who of competitive golf. Leading this group is Robert
T. (Bobby) Jones, Jr., who was the Southern Amateur Champion in 1917,
1920, and 1922. Others who have won or finished in a challenging position
and gone on to national and/or international prominence include Tommy
Barnes, Dale Morey, Don January, Gay Brewer, Doug Sanders, Billy Joe
Patton, Lew Oehmig, Hubert Green, Downing Gray, Marvin (Vinny) Giles,
Lanny Wadkins, Steve Melnyk, Tom Kite, John Mahaffey, Ben Crenshaw,
Gary Koch, Bill Rogers, Gil Morgan, Danny Edwards, Andy Bean, Vance
Haefner, Jerry Pate, Chip Beck, David Edwards, Jay Sigel, Bob Tway, Mark
Brooks, Gene Sauers, Davis Love, and more recently, Justin Leonard and
Allen Doyle.
Junior Golf was in full force the week
of July 4th. Sixteen juniors came for four
days of instruction, agility training, and
proper fundamentals to have in order to
succeed in the game of golf. We want to
thank all those that participated and their
continued support of junior golf!
The tentative tournament dates are July 15-18, 2015. The players will
play a practice round on Tuesday, July 14. The field will be cut to 66 and ties
after two days. This is a major event and we need your help. Volunteers will
be needed to help with live scoring, course spotters, practice areas, water,
etc. We would also like to offer private housing to the competitors. 2015
seems like a long time from now, but now is the time to start organizing
and preparing. If you would like to help, please contact the Golf Shop at
662.494.8780.
CONGRATULATIONS!!!
Congratulations to David Allen who made a Hole In One on #17! David hit a 6 iron in the hole from 195.
Elmer Thomas also deserves congratulation for his Hole In One on #12. Great golf!!

points’ race for the year. With only the Chariman’s Cup and Wiygul Cup left for participants to earn points, the race is heating
up. The top 30 after the Wiygul Cup will earn the opportunity
to compete in the Waverly Cup, which will be awarded to the

6:00pm for Book Signing with the Author Curtis Wilkie
7:00pm Dinner and presentation by Curtis Wilkie
“Over the past four decades no reporter has critiqued the American South
with such evocative sensitivity and bedrock honesty as Curtis Wilkie.”
—Douglas Brinkley
The Fall of the House of Zeus tells the story of Dickie Scruggs, arguably the most successful plaintiff ’s lawyer in America.
A brother-in-law of Trent Lott, the former U.S. Senate Majority Leader, Scruggs made a fortune taking on mass tort
lawsuits against “Big Tobacco” and the asbestos industries. He was hailed by Newsweek as a latter day Robin Hood,
and portrayed in the movie, The Insider, as a dapper aviator-lawyer. Scruggs’ legal triumphs rewarded him lavishly, and
his success emboldened both his career maneuvering and his influence in Southern politics--but at a terrible cost,
culminating in his spectacular fall, when he was convicted for conspiring to bribe a Mississippi state judge. Here Mississippi is emblematic of the modern South, with its influx of new money and its rising professional class,
including lawyers such as Scruggs, whose interests became inextricably entwined with state and national politics.
Based on extensive interviews, transcripts, and FBI recordings never made public, The Fall of the House of Zeus
exposes the dark side of Southern and Washington legal games and power politics: the swirl of fixed cases,
blocked investigations, judicial tampering, and a zealous prosecution that would eventually ensnare not only
Scruggs but his own son, Zach, in the midst of their struggle with insurance companies over Hurricane Katrina
damages. In gripping detail, Curtis Wilkie crafts an authentic legal thriller propelled by a “welter of betrayals and
personal hatreds,” providing large supporting parts for Trent Lott and Jim Biden, brother of then-Senator Joe,
and cameos by John McCain, Al Gore, and other DC insiders and influence peddlers.
Above all, we get to see how and why the mighty fail and fall, a story as gripping and timeless as a Greek tragedy.
Limited Seating. Please call 662.494.6463 to reserve your seat at this event.
Curtis Wilkie.
Born in Greenville, Mississippi, Wilkie was educated in the public schools of
Mississippi and graduated from the University of Mississippi in 1963 with a bachelor’s degree in journalism.
He served as reporter and editor on the staff of the Clarksdale Press Register 1963-69 in the Mississippi Delta
at a time when the civil rights movement was at its height. He received a Congressional Fellowship from the
American Political Science Association and worked on Capitol Hill 1969-71 as a legislative aide in the offices of
Sen. Walter F. Mondale (D-Minn.) and Rep. John Brademas (D-Ind,). He served as reporter and editor on the
staff of the News-Journal papers in Wilmington, Delaware, 1971-74.
Wilkie joined the staff of the Boston Globe in 1975 and served as a national and foreign correspondent for that
paper until retirement at the end of the 2000 presidential campaign. He covered eight presidential campaigns
(seven for the Globe) and served as White House correspondent 1977-82. He also served as chief of the
Globe’s Washington bureau.
In 1984, Wilkie established the Globe’s Middle East bureau and lived in Jerusalem 1984-87. He covered
numerous wars and conflicts overseas including 1982 Israeli invasion of Lebanon; terrorist bombings of US
Marines in Beirut as well as siege of Yasser Arafat in Tripoli, Lebanon, in 1983; civil war in Lebanon throughout
the 1980s; first Palestinian intifada, 1988-89; Romanian revolution 1989-90; first Gulf War 1991; civil war in
Somalia, 1993. In 1993, Wilkie established Globe’s Southern bureau in New Orleans and covered regional and
national affairs from there until retirement.
Wilkie has written numerous articles for national magazines such as The Nation, The New Republic, Newsweek,
Playboy, George, Washington Journalism Review. Many articles were published in the Boston Globe Magazine. He is the
co-author, with the late Jim McDougal, of “Arkansas Mischief: Birth of a National Scandal” published by Henry
Holt 1998; author of “Dixie: A Personal Odyssey Through Events That Shaped the Modern South” published
by Scribner 2001; co-author, with six others, of “City Adrift: New Orleans Before and After Katrina” published
by LSU Press 2007.
He was a journalism professor in residence at Louisiana State University (2003). He was appointed to Kelly G.
Cook chair in the department of journalism at the University of Mississippi (2004). Wilkie was given the Special
Award for Excellence in Non-Fiction Writing by the Fellowship of Southern Writers (2005).
Wilkie has served as visiting professor of journalism at the University of Mississippi since 2002. He was
appointed to become the first Overby Fellow with the Overby Center for Southern Journalism and Politics at the
University of Mississippi in 2007.
Wilkie and his wife, Nancy, reside in Oxford, Miss., and New Orleans, La. He has three grown children, Carter,
Leighton & Stuart.

Each time I see members swing the club, they are
demonstrating hours and hours of hard work put into the
sport they love. One thing is true, while you can buy many
things, a good golf game is not one of them. Good golf
requires honesty, grit, and discipline applied over an extended
period of time.
Presently, there is a lot of attention being put on the junior golf program. I think that is
great. But you need to understand the truth of the matter. YOU are as big a part of the junior
golf program as anyone else. Everything feeds on everything else.
But let’s think back for a minute. In order to have a facility like Old Waverly, you must first
have the Bryans’ inspiration to build it here in Mississippi. Then you must have golfers (like
yourself ) who share in the passion of golf here in Mississippi. Next, you must have a host of
golf professionals that brought the game along through the years. The Teaching Center was
established in 2003, not by one or two people, but instead by hundreds of people that shared
the same passion in golf.
So, today, remember that you are making a difference. By sharing your passion of golf, you
are building not only your own future in the game, but that of many, many more. Thank YOU!

NIGHT SPECIAL
Please come out
and enjoy traditional
Asian Cuisine each
Wednesday night in
the month of August.
MESSAGE FROM WILKES
July was a great month in Old Waverly’s history for Junior Golf. There were 246 juniors who played in tournaments and daily play.
As we continue to build our junior program, the addition of the Fleishhacker Golf Cottage has been tremendous as it hosted 6 camps
since May with one more planned for the summer. The juniors have been working hard and making progress! A special thanks to the
counselors for their time and efforts to assist. We especially appreciate our members for their support of junior golf.
Wednesday nights in August will feature an Asian entree, and the entree will be different every Wednesday night. During the
week and weekend, Bubba serves some outstanding specials for evening dining. Tasty Tuesday and Date Night also showcase other
dining specials. This month we have three weddings in the clubhouse, and we are honored that the brides have chosen Old Waverly
as their venue. During these weddings, Murphy’s will be open for dining. Reservations are very important to assure a great dining
experience. Thank you in advance for helping us.
We are glad to welcome back Earl following his recent foot surgery. Earl has been at Old Waverly since August of 1993, and his
recent absence was felt by everyone. Earl said he didn’t know just how important his feet were until he had to be off of them! Be sure
and stop in Murphy’s to see him.
There are only 29 days until NCAA football takes center stage! The first game is on Thursday, August 29th between North
Carolina and South Carolina. We will have the game on all the televisions and hope you join us for kick-off.
There can be some good weather in August, so make your plans to come out and enjoy all that
Old Waverly offers!
FLEISHHACKER GOLF COTTAGE
We had 11 junior golfers stay in the Fleishhacker Golf Cottage during the month of July. These golfers came from
Memphis, Birmingham, Gulfport, and Tupelo. Our next instructional opportunity is August 2-3.
Young golfers are learning how to take a concept, build that skill, transfer that skill, and ultimately make that skill a
habit. Much like the game of life, golf can be very challenging, especially when we encounter unexpected variables. Here
junior golfers are learning how to deal with those variables by being objective, persistent, and patient. These traits will
transfer to off course learning experiences.
If you are interested in your junior golfer
experiencing what the Fleishhacker Golf Cottage has
to offer, email VJ or Tim.
