The Vermont Amateur is one of the oldest state amateur tournaments in the country. Since Paul Waterman won the first amateur title in 1902 at the Ekwanok Country Club, the tournament has been held continuously except for the war years. For the first time last year the tournament prize was renamed the Dave Pfannenstein Memorial Trophy, to honor the late executive director of the VGA, who died of complications from COVID-19 last spring.

Last year’s Championship was at the Stowe Country Club. Garren Poirier, playing out of Rutland Country Club, hoisted the Pfannenstein trophy, edging Cory Jozefiak (Mount Anthony Country Club) by one stroke.
