1953 Frank Stranahan Low Amateur-Whiting Sterling Silver Pitcher - Jacksonville 9th Ann. Open Golf Invit
By 1953 it was almost a fore gone conclusion that Frank Stranahan would be the low amateur when he competed in an Open event with a PGA professional field, more in question was how many big name pay-for-play golfers he would top that week. This was the case at the Ninth Annual Jacksonville Open as Stranahan finished at 283, 5 under aggregate for the week. His fine play placed him in a tie for 9th place overall that week equaling PGA stalwarts Freddie Haas and Sam Snead performance that week. Bestowed on Frank for besting all amateurs in the field that week was a 9 1/4" x 6" x 9 1/2" trophy of achievement carrying engraving by Whiting MFG as follows on the bottom of the water pitcher "Sterling, By Frank M. Whiting Company" "1951" "4 1/2 Pint". A portion of the Frank Stranahan collection proceeds will be donated to The First Tee of Lake Erie.
