Letters of thanks:
Each year after our tournament, the Cardinal Amateur receives a number of letters from participants. You might be interested in reading some of those received from the contestants.
Mr Sugg,
I'd like to thank you and everyone else who played a role in this years tournament. Everyone was extremely hospitable, the course was in great shape, and the food was fantastic. Everyone else I talked to loved the tournament as well, and thought it was one of the best tournaments they have ever played in. I am already excited for next year's tournament. Thanks again and hope to see you next summer!

To the entire Cardinal Amateur committee: I would like to thank you for the oppurtunity to play in the 2008 Cardinal Amateur. This was truly one of the best run tournaments I have ever competed in. You made everyone feel welcome and the golf course was a fair test. Thanks once again for having one of the year's best tournaments.
Sincerly,
John Isenhour

Thank you very much for inviting me to play this year again to the Cardinal. Once again please let everyone involved from the Cardinal stafff, and all of the volunteers I appreciate the incredible hospitality they extended to me. I want to relate a story to you of a conversation my 2nd round partner Kevin Smith and I had. He is going to Australia to work at a new golf course and he said he has never been treated so well. In fact he told me that he will take many of the things you guys do at the Cardinal tournament and institute them when he has events at his place. He could not believe how every detail was taken care of and how smoothy things ran. I second his feelings and The Cardinal is always one of my favorite events all year.
I look forward to seeing you and everyone again next year.
Take care and have a great winter!

Notes from the 2007 tournament:
from 2007 Champion Zack Sucher:
Thanks to everyone who helped put the Cardinal Amateur tournament together. The golf course was in great shape! I can't wait to play number twelve again. The tournament was very well organized and I met a lot of really nice members. Everything was first class! I am definitely looking forward to playing next year.
from Will Collins:
I just wanted to thank you for the great job you guys did running the tournament this year! All the volunteers did an exceptional job and everyone was very welcoming towards us. It was the best run tournament I've ever played in.
from Keith Harris:
Thank you for having me this year at the "new" Cardinal Am. You guys knocked it out of the park again by running a top notch event and making us feel much more important than we deserve to feel.
from Chris Cassetta:
Thank you for inviting me to play in the prestigious Cardinal Amateur again this year. Even though I did not play particularly well, it did not interfere with the amount of fun I had.
This is the seventh year I have played in the event, and it never disappoints. As the case every year, it is the best event that I play in each year. The reason is because of the hard work and dedication that you and your staff puts towards the event. Please extend my warm appreciation to those involved.
from Gregg Cox:
What a great atmosphere this year for the Cardinal Am. The Cardinal Am committee did a fantastic job. Every detail was covered. The volunteers did an excellent job and I was a very proud member of the Cardinal Golf & CC. The tournament is the highlight of my summer schedule and I feel very fortunate to have played in 19 in a row. As I get older, I look back and truly realize how lucky I have been. I really appreciate the effort you and the Cardinal Am Committee put forth to make it a very special week for everyone.
from Michael Muscatell:
Thank you for inviting me to the 2007 Cardinal Amateur. The golf course was in great shape and provided a great test each day. The many volunteers were the key to a well run tournament. It was one of the best run amateur events of the year and I look forward to seeing you again in 2008.
