1899 Pewter Three-Handled Brae-Burn Golf Club Trophy
The historic Brae Burn Golf Club in West Newton,
Massachusetts was founded in 1897. The club
played host to the 1919 US Open and 1928 US
Amateur, Walter Hagen and Bobby Jones triumphs
respectively. Donald Ross redesigned the first Brae
Burn 18-hole course in 1912 and again in 1928. Just two years after the club was formed,
we have a large heavy pewter 3 handled trophy
given to the winners of the 1899 Mixed Foursomes
Open tournament. This 7 x 5 ½ “ trophy features
two crossed clubs and a ball on one side with the
other side engraved “ Brae Burn Golf Club, West
Newton, Mass., Open Tournament, Mixed
Foursomes 18 holes, June 15 , 1899 Best Gross
Score, 102. H. C. 4. Net 98., Won by, Mr. R. F. Jones
Miss G. B. Hayes
The soft shine and deep grey look of pewter was a
favorite of golf clubs around the turn of the century
because it allowed them to create nice prizes for
their tournaments at a cost far less than silver. This
example has a glass bottom (at some point in its
127 year existence it has developed a crack but it
is out of sight and does not detract from the
attractiveness of the trophy). 8" x 7"x 7"
