Frequently Asked Questions
Q. Can I vote on the Haskins Award?
A. In the past, voting eligibility has been determined by those players and coaches attending the NCAA Finals and golf writers. This process expanded in 2009 so that all eligible D1 players/coaches/assistant coaches, golf writers, golf media, and past recipients can vote. For more information see Who Can Vote.
Q. Do I have to choose from the top 25 nominees when I vote?
A. No. You have the option to write in any eligible D1 player
Q. How do I nominate a player?
A. Nominations are not necessary, you can vote for any eligible player. Write-ins are perfectly acceptable.
Q. How are the top 25 players determined - and players in the "Haskins Chase"?
A. The Haskins Commission uses our own system which relies heavily on our Media Partner GolfWeek's collegiate Sagarin ratings. The most important factor after that is tournament wins.
Q. What body of work should I consider when deciding who to vote for?
A. Since you are the voter, The Haskins Award can be voted on by your intentions/research alone. However, the intention of the award is to only factor in the Collegiate performances for the current golf year including the fall and spring seasons.
We of course realize that many if not all top level collegiate golfers compete in top amateur events such as the U.S. Am, Sunnehanna, and Southeastern Amateur, which are outside the regular collegiate tournaments, but the focus of the Haskins Award is the collegiate performance and how the players performance has helped their team excel.
Q. Is there a division two and/or ladies award?
A. Expansion is being discussed now. We currently have every intention of expanding the award.
Q. Can I vote for the Haskins Award online?
A. Yes!. In 2009, the Haskins Award implemented online voting and will continue that process for the forseeable future.
Q. Was Mr. Haskins Scottish?
A. Mr. Haskins was actually English, although given the fact that he was a club maker and knew how to take care of a golf course, he is often mistakenly referred to as Scottish.
Q. How well did Mr. Haskins know Bobby Jones?
A. It is unclear the depth of the relationship, however, Mr. Jones played a key role in suggesting Mr. Haskins for the job at CCC and also convincing Mr. Haskins to accept the offer made. It has been suggested that the two were actually quite good friends and that Mr. Haskins made at least one set of clubs for Mr. Jones.
Q. When is the Haskins Award Winner announced?
A. Each year the Commission determines the most appropriate date to have a Press Release or announce the winner at a public function.
Q. Where is the Haskins Award presented?
A. The Haskins Award has had a history of presenting the Award at just about any occasion because of the restrictions placed upon Amateur Golfers and NCAA/Collegiate golfers and what the Award Commission can and cannot pay for. We try to work with SIDs, the player, and the coach to find the most appropriate place to formally present the award.
Q. Can anyone attend the Presentation?
A. Presentation attendance is determined by the venue at which the Award is presented.
Q. What are the differences in the Collegiate Awards?
A. Each collegiate award is incredible in their own way, but the main differences are how the award is determined, restrictions based on the eligable grade or year, and division.
Q. How is the winner determined?
A. The Haskins Award winner is determined by popular vote amongst the peers of that player, golf coaches and golf writers.
Q. Does the Haskins Commission help determine the winner?
A. The Commission's role in the process is to administer the voting process only.
Q. How is the Haskins Commission/Haskins Award funded?

The Haskins Commission/Award are a 501(c)3 organization.
Q. Can I donate to the Haskins Award?
