Fine 1916 golf trophy by the Whiting sterling silver company. It was awarded to golfer GH Baldwin in 1916 for winning the Governor's Cup at the Brooklawn Country Club in Fairfield CT. Brooklawn is one of the very early golf courses in America. Very fine repousse design where everything is raised, even the winner's name. The date of this tournament in 1916 coincides with the opening of their new clubhouse which at that time was one of the biggest in the country. Brooklawn has associations with many of the world's best early golfer's including Willie Anderson, Gene Sarazen, JH taylor, Harry Vardon, Ted Ray, and Francis Ouimet.
Very fine original condition. We have provided excellent hi-res photos so you can judge condition for yourself.
