1940 Pine Valley GC Sterling Silver 'Helen & George Crump Memorial Cup' Plate by Caldwell
Here we have a runner's up plate from the 1940 Helen & George Crump Memorial Cup tournament held at Pine Valey Golf Club. Located in New Jersey, Pine Valley was founded by a group of amateur golfers and designed by one in particular- George Crump. Crump was familiar with the area and had grand ideas while designing his first and only golf course, such as one should use every club in his bag while playing the course, consecutive holes shouldn't play in the same direction, etc. Sadly Crump died in 1918 before finishing his dream of a complex and intriguing course. Pine Valey to this day is perennially one of the top courses in the country. The engraving reads as follows:
Pine Valley Golf Club
