Amateur winner, Coe never turned professional either because, as he stated in 1998, "When I was growing up, golf was a gentleman's game,"[4] or because his wife said, "if I thought I was going to raise three children out of a suitcase, I was crazy".

Amateur in 1949, beating Rufus King 11 & 10 in the finals, and won it again in 1958 with a 5 & 4 victory over Tommy Aaron.

[9] In 1961, Coe rallied in the final round from six shots down to finish one stroke behind Gary Player.

When he died, the Rocky Mountain News quoted a Castle Pines golf club member saying, "Charlie Coe was an amateur at everything except life."
