Prestigious Golf Trophy Found

Trophies News from Liverpool, England

A chance discovery on the other side of the world has sparked a search which has led to Merseyside.

Alan Stewart unearthed two silver dish trophies at a garage sale in his home town of Alberta in Calgary, Canada.

The six-inch diameter trophies, which belonged to the late stepfather of a neighbor, were engraved with the inscription ‘HG Beazley Cup 1939’ with the Royal Liverpool Golf Club medallion in the center.

As a result of Alan’s enquires on this side of the Atlantic, he has been told that the golf trophies were presented for a club event held at Hoylake during their St Andrews Meeting, but has been unable to find out the name of the winner in 1939. Says Alan: “A golf memorabilia expert at Bonham’s Auction house has suggested a value of around £150, but I am more interested in the nature of the competition for which they were awarded and who the 1939 winner turned out to be.”
