100th North & South Amateur-David Eger's Champions Putter Boy Trophy

The Putter Boy Trophy is perhaps the most visually impressive of all individual golf awards. The trademarked logo boy known as "The Golf Lad or "The Golf Boy", this historic symbol of Pinehurst was sculpted as a sundial by Lucy Richards in 1912. Because of its significance, nearly all the previously issued Putter Boy championship trophies from North & South winners remain in the possession of the respective player and/or his family. Therefore, few examples can be found in private collections today. This is an extremely high quality work of art that could be displayed proudly in many settings and different type of collections, originating from the personal collection of 2000 champion David Eger (who claimed the title in the historic 100th edition of the competition).

Front inscription reads:

100th North and South Men's
Amateur Championship
Pinehurst Country Club
July 24-28th, 2000
Champion

Underside of the 10" x 10" x 14" trophy displays tagging of Johnny O's Awards in nearby Aberdeen, N.C. This company completes the assembly of the trophy and engraves the champions nameplate. Various sizes and shapes of the iconic putter boy can be commercially obtained, whoever the opportunity to own an actual trophy from the North and South is not soon to be repeated. The statue weighs in at 17 pounds!
