DETROIT GOLF CLUB TROPHY HEADING HOME AFTER 100 YEARS
I recently picked up a trophy from a boys golf tournament held at The Detroit Golf Club in 1906. I listed it on the net, for maximum exposure, hoping to find someone who might have a tie in with the club and want it for their collection. I even imagined it returning to the club and maybe ending up in a showcase there. Well....guess what? It is returning to the club. The General Manager of The Detroit Golf Club won the trophy (at no profit to me unfortunately) and perhaps it will be displayed exactly 100 years from the time a young Master Franklin Robbins took it home after winning the tourney. It kind of takes the bite out of basically breaking even on this small piece of history to see it return to it's original home.
