IN MEMORY OF

January 12, 1955 – June 3, 2024

Bob was the loving husband of Anne Patterson for almost 49 years. He is survived by his son, Brandon Patterson, his daughter, Tiffany Holmes and his son-in-law, Daniel Holmes. In the early years, his family was by his side volunteering at several of the Optimist Championships every summer.

Bob had a long and distinguished career with Optimist Junior Golf

• He became an Optimist member in 1979.

• In the early years, he assisted with qualifiers in South Florida for Optimist International Junior World Championship was in San Diego, Ca.

• In an effort to expand the tournament, Optimist International moved the event to South Florida’s Doral Country Club in 1995 and renamed the event the Optimist International Junior Golf Championships. The next year the event moved to PGA National Resort & Spa. Bob was then on the International Junior Golf Committee member and played a major role in making the tournament successful that first year.

• In 1998 - Bob was appointed as the Tournament Director.

• As Tournament Director from 1998-2018, a span of 20 years, Bob grew and developed the program significantly. In 2018, Bob was instrumental in moving the tournament back to Trump National Doral Resort and Spa.

He retired in 2019 after two decades of service as the Tournament Director. Bob’s dedication and leadership over 20 years as Tournament Director were instrumental in the growth and success of the prestigious Optimist International Junior Golf Championship during his tenure. He was most proud of fielding over 600 kids over a 3-week period every summer.

Optimist Golf Code of Conduct

The Optimist International Junior Golf Championship takes great pride in the quality of its players, host facility and volunteer involvement. Optimist Junior Golf requires all players and guests to adhere to a set of guidelines. Tournament play will be conducted in accordance with USGA rules, Code of Conduct and Optimist local rules.

Dress Code

Proper golf attire is required at all times during the practice round and tournament play. Questionable attire will be reviewed by the Tournament Director. Players in violation of the dress code will not be permitted to tee off.

• Hats/visors must be worn with brim forward.

• Collared shirts must be worn and tucked in at all times with the following exceptions: women’s shirts without a collar must have sleeves. Men’s shirts without a collar must have a tight neck fit. T-shirts are prohibited.

• Use of drugs or alcohol, smoking or chewing tobacco products—a zero tolerance policy is in effect.

• Not adhering to the dress code during practice round or tournament play.

• Use of cell phones can only be used to notify a tournament official for a ruling or medical attention. Please make sure they are turned off during play. Headsets is strictly prohibited and may result in disqualification.

• Damages in any rooms will be the financial responsibility of the players occupying the room. Please report and accidental damage to your chaperone or at the tournament office.

• All players must comply with the tournament Curfew of 10:30 p.m. local time. You must be in your room by the Curfew and remain in your room for the remainder of the night unless accompanied by an adult chaperone, parent, or legal guardian. Nightly random room checks will be made.

• Attendance at the player orientation is mandatory. Any player failing to attend the player orientation may be subject to disqualification.

Spectator Code of Conduct

Spectators are welcome and are free of charge. In golf, customs of etiquette and decorum are just as important as rules governing play. It is appropriate for parents and spectators to applaud successful strokes, but in order to secure the spirit of the game, we ask parents and spectators to please adhere to the following guidelines. Please note that if any of the following guidelines are perceived as broken by a Rules Official, the player may be subject to penalty.

• Spectators attend Optimist Golf events at their own risk.

• Place phones on silent and if calls are necessary, move far enough away as to not be heard by players.

• Spectator carts are allowed at the Championships (one per family). Spectators must pay for and abide by all cart policies set up by the Doral staff. Any violations can result in loss of privileges for remainder of event.

• Spectators should stay on cart paths. In the absence of cart paths, we ask that spectators stay in the rough. Please stay off fairways, tees and greens.

• Spectators should stay one shot ahead of the group they are following. This allows spectators to follow errant shots and help identify where the ball comes to rest. Spectators are allowed to aid in the search for lost golf balls.

• Spectators are allowed to carry medicine, drinks, food, umbrellas, etc.

• If a spectator commits a serious breach (as determined by the Rules Committee), they may be asked to leave the course.

• For your personal safety, we ask you exercise caution at all times. When inclement weather moves into the area, play will be suspended by sounding airhorns. Accordingly, you should seek shelter immediately. The staff will evacuate players from the course first and then spectators.

• Spectators are asked not to consume alcoholic beverages while on the golf course.

• Please use discretion when smoking around players on the course.

Violation Penalties

Will vary depending on severity of offense, one stroke for minor, two strokes for repeated minor, and disqualified for serious. See the Optimist Code of Conduct on Local Rules (Hard Card).

Withdrawal Policy

This policy will allow for withdrawals for medical reasons or for emergencies. The medical reason must be verified and approved by a Rules Official and Tournament Director. If the player is deemed to be ok to play but refuses, they are disqualified and will received a NC (no card) on final report.

The entire group involved will be held at the point of stoppage and other groups will play through. A rules official will restart the group. All play must comply with all current tournament rules and policies. The player must notify and receive approval of a rules official prior to leaving the course. The decision of the Rules Committee is final. If it is a family emergency or the like, player will receive a WD on final report.

A Brief History of the Optimist International Junior Golf Championships

Since 1978, Optimist-sponsored golf tournaments have served as a springboard for many of golf’s greatest players. Scottie Scheffler, Joaquin Niemann, Lexi Thompson, Jason Day, Phil Mickelson, Ernie Els, Brooke Henderson and Tiger Woods are just a few of today’s elite players who found their humble beginnings with the Optimists.

This world-class event originated in 1968 when three leaders of the San Diego County Junior Golf Association formed Junior World Golf. In 1978, through the action of Dudley Williams, a lifelong San Diego resident and soon-to-be President of Optimist International, the Optimists became a sponsor of the event, thus creating “Optimist Junior World.” Through this partnership, Optimist International began holding qualifying tournaments for 15- to 17-year-olds across the United States and Canada. As a result, 55 tournaments drew more than 3,500 entrants.

The Optimist continues to be one of the best-known junior tournaments in the world with more than 5,000 golfers, ages 10-18, participating in qualifying tournaments each year.

Annually approximately 600 of the best junior golfers, representing over 25 nations, 45 states and five Canadian Provinces, converge for a week of unsurpassed competition, fellowship and fun.

Optimist Clubs are dedicated to “Bringing Out the Best in Kids” and do their part through community service projects. Since each Club is autonomous and run by members in their community, Optimists have the unique flexibility to serve the youth of their area in any way they see fit. Optimist Clubs see a need in their community and react to it.

No matter what life throws your way, it is important to stay positive. Staying positive can be difficult during tough times, but it is possible by adopting a mindset of Optimism. The Optimist Creed is a guide for keeping a positive outlook on life, no matter what happens.

Optimist Creed

Promise Yourself

To be so strong that nothing can disturb your peace of mind.

To talk health, happiness and prosperity to every person you meet.

To make all your friends feel that there is something in them.

To look at the sunny side of everything and make your optimism come true.

To think only of the best, to work only for the best, and to expect only the best.

To be just as enthusiastic about the success of others as you are about your own.

To forget the mistakes of the past and press on to the greater achievements of the future.

To wear a cheerful countenance at all times and give every living creature you meet a smile.

To give so much time to the improvement of yourself that you have no time to criticize others.

To be too large for worry, too noble for anger, too strong for fear, and too happy to permit the presence of trouble.
