    Product description
    Antique Sterling Golf Trophy Pitcher Golfer Fownes- 1910 US Amateur- Geo Proctor
    We are offering an antique Art Deco  sterling silver golf trophy, made by Dominick & Haff , measuring about 10.75” tall and 9.5” wide and weighing 678.2g. This is a wonderful piece of golfing history, the “Holiday Cup” from 1919 and a few years after. It is shaped like a pitcher with detailed panels for the addition of names as the trophy was awarded to new victors. It was first won by a Geo S Proctor, but was claimed later that same year by W C Fownes Jr.
    William Clark Fownes Jr. (October 2, 1877 – July 4, 1950) was an American amateur golfer. His father, Henry Fownes, founded and designed Oakmont Country Club. Fownes won the 1910 U.S. Amateur at The Country Club in Brookline, Massachusetts. He defeated Chick Evans (winner in 1916 and 1920) in the semi-finals, then defeated Warren Wood in the final. Fownes was the playing-captain of the first U.S. Walker Cup team in 1922. He guided the team to victory and played again on the team in 1924. He also won the Pennsylvania Amateur four times. Fownes served as president of the United States Golf Association from 1926 to 1927.
    The awards inscribed on the trophy are as follows:
    First Holiday Cup won by Geo S Proctor
    1919
    Nov 28- Thanksgiving Day W C Fownes Jr
    1920
