1953 National Golf Links of America Tiffy & Co. Sterling Silver Trophy Goblet
The private 18 hole National Golf Links of America course covering 253 acres is located on Peconic Bay in the Town of Southampton, New York. Founded in 1908 under the leadership of Charles B. Macdonald, construction began on the course with Seth Raynor's assistance. MacDonald had a plan to build a first class course which in essence 'cherry picked' the better ideas already put forth by courses in paces like England and Scotland. From the care he devoted to the selection of the property to the refinements he made to it over the next 30 years, he was determined to build the most noteworthy course in the United States. There are many famous holes commemorated at the National including the Road Hole, Eden, Alps, and Sahara. Offered in this lot is 1953 Tiffany Sterling Silver Trophy Goblet from this highly privatized club. Inscription reads as follows:
