John W. Dawson (December 20, 1902[1] – January 6, 1986) was an American amateur golfer and golf course architect.[2]
Dawson was born in Chicago, Illinois.[1] Although he was a life-long amateur golfer, his amateur status was rescinded by the United States Golf Association (USGA) for a time due to his employment with the Spalding sporting goods company.[1] His amateur status was eventually restored and he competed in several USGA events. He was runner-up (at the age of 44) to Skee Riegel in 1947 U.S. Amateur.[3] He played on the winning 1949 U.S. Walker Cup team.[4] He was also runner-up in 1958 U.S. Senior Amateur[5]
Dawson was inducted into the Southern California Golf Association (SCGA) Hall of Fame in 2007;[6] he had won their amateur championship four times between 1942 and 1952.
