Golf sculptor draws on a patriotic icon for this golf trophy

Golf sculptor Malcolm DeMille (cousin to the iconic Hollywood director Cecil B. DeMille) creates magnificent golf trophies, many of which are a familiar sight at the 18th hole of major PGA and LPGA tours. His stunning golf trophy for the AT&T National Hosted by Tiger Woods draws on Americana architecture.

The winner’s trophy is an incredibly intricate, scale version of our US Capitol building. Presented to the tournament’s champion each year (by Tiger Woods the host; sometimes to himself!) the AT&T National trophy stands symbolic in its design and timing… it is awarded during the 4th of July weekend in the Washington, D.C. area.

TWO golf trophies were competed for at Badgemore Park Golf Club last weekend where 82 members challenged for the prestigious Hallmark Bowl.

Simon Franks lifted the trophy after scoring an exceptional 41 points. Michael Horsepool came a close second with 40 points with Michael O’Keefe in third place recording 37 points.

The Badgemore Greensomes, played throughout the winter months, concluded on Sunday with a win on the day for Barry Mason and Kevin Woods. Second and third places went to Steve Wyeth and Alan Perry and Martyn Walker and Eric Marwood.

The Bob Tanner Memorial Trophy, played for across all the winter Badgemore Greensome matches, was won by third time winner Steve Wyeth.

All seven golf courses on the North Olympic Peninsula held organizational meetings to structure the first ever Peninsula Championship for May 12 with a 9 a.m. shotgun start.

Ray DeJong is the chairman for this first-time event, and he reports progress was made.

Cedars at Dungeness Golf Course head PGA professional Bill Shea has agreed to host the event – and the very large silver cup will be the traveling golf trophy awarded to the winner.

This year’s winner will keep the trophy for one year on display at their golf course, and each annual winner that follows will do the same.

Twelve players will be selected to represent each team, and no professional players will be allowed as team members.

Prizes are yet to be determined along with individual awards and special awards to all team members of a winning team.

Strange ending at Pebble

Strange ending at Pebble

It was a weird scene Monday at the AT&T Pebble Beach National Pro-Am. Instead of celebrating his victory on the golf course, Dustin Johnson posed with the winner’s trophy in a cramped interview room, then headed outdoors through the slop for more pictures with the trophy on a drenched and deserted 18th green.

But it didn’t feel weird to Johnson.

“It feels great,” said Johnson, who was awarded the title when the tournament was called Monday after 54 holes because of bad weather. “Any time you can take pictures with the trophy, it’s good. It doesn’t matter if it’s pouring down rain.”

The final round, which had been postponed Sunday, was canceled early Monday. With standing water on the fairways and greens, and no relief in the forecast, play was called at 7:30 a.m. before anybody teed off.

It was the first abbreviated finish at the AT&T since 1999, when Payne Stewart won in 54 holes. In 2000, one round was delayed by rain, but play was completed Monday.

Ollie Nutt, head of the tournament, said he was glad the 2009 event concluded as an official tournament, even if it was cut short.

“Unfortunately, it was the right decision,” he said. “Fortunately, we got in 54 holes.”

Harrington sorry that he can’t compete for Vardon

Trophy news from St. Louis, MO

ST. LOUIS (AP) — Padraig Harrington was about the only one not complaining that a double major champion could not qualify for the Tour Championship, blaming only himself for missing consecutive cuts at the start of the PGA Tour Playoffs.

His biggest letdown? Realizing he couldn’t win the Vardon Trophy.

Harrington figured he was safe playing the minimum 15 events on the PGA Tour. But he missed the cut three times, and finished the year with only 52 rounds. Players must complete 60 rounds to be eligible for the Vardon Trophy for lowest adjusted scoring average.
