Jerome Travers' 1921 Metropolitan Golf Assoc.

Amateur Trophy

          Offered here is the rare opportunity to own an actual trophy won by World Golf Hall of Famer Jerome Travers in 1921. This stunning 11" tall sterling silver trophy was awarded to Travers for winning New York's 1921 Metropolitan Golf Association 21st Amateur Championship Four Ball Match.

          As reported in the next day's June 11, 1921 New York Times

Willie Reekie and Jerome D. Travers, representing Upper Montclair in Club Pairs Foursome, which was played in the afternoon made a runaway race of the event by turning in a card of 69 against a par of 73. They had 38 going out, only twice being over the par figures with a birdie three on the fifth. They had 5 birdies coming back which with the other four holes played in par gave them a 31 for the inward journey. 19 pairs took part in the event.
