Jamison Cup Site History

Leagues
 

 


Competitions among clubs are among the oldest and most traditions in the Association’s history.


The 4th Hole at Longue Vue Club

The Jamison Cup, named after Thomas Jamison (1912-1976), Oakmont, Hannastown, has existed in various forms for decades.  Jamison and his father, T.S., President of WPGA in 1927, were key figures in organizing inter-club competitions.  A fine player, Tom Jamison qualified for three USGA Opens and several USGA Amateurs.  The competition has been discontinued a time or two, but it has been in operation consecutively since 1991.  In this era, three clubs have captured 11 of the 17 titles, St. Jude and Oakmont with four each, and Pittsburgh Field Club with three.  St. Jude has won three since 2003 in the odd numbered years.  Teams reach the Jamison Cup by winning their leagues, and the fall event is 36-holes, five players count four scores per round.
