1954
In 1954, the clubhouse suffered a night fire in the Ladies lounge. This is the only fire that has damaged the structure. When the men’s locker room was being remodeled in 2007, the construction crews uncovered a previously unknown incident. While removing a lath and plaster wall by the front entrance to the locker room, workers found the studs beneath the plaster were charred by an earlier fire. Apparently the fire lacked sufficient oxygen to spread.
1955
Major improvements are made to the women’s locker room.
1959
August 10-16, Waverley hosts the 57th Western Golf Association Amateur.
