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 is expanding in 2009 and even further expanding in 2010. For 2009, 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.
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 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 Southeastern Amateur, which are outside the regular collegiate tournaments, but the focus of the Haskins Award is the collegiate performance and how that has helped the team excel.
Q. Is there a division two and/or ladies award?
A. 2010 (the 40th Haskins Award) expansion is being discussed now. We currently have every intention of expanding to include both Division II and Ladies in 2010.
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. It has been suggested that the two were actually quite good friends.
Q. When is the Haskins Award Winner announced?
A. The winner is announced at the Thursday night Dinner reception of the Southeastern Amateur. The next announcement will be June 18th, 2009.
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. However, we hope to present the award in 2009 at the announcement June 18th, 2009.
Starting in 2010, the Haskins Commission will announce and present the award at the Thursday night dinner banquet of the Southeastern Amateur.
Q. Can anyone attend the Presentation?
A. Presentation attendance is determined by the venue at which the Award is presented. As mentioned before, we hope to Present the award in 2009 at the Southeastern Amateur although this tournament currently runs at the same time as the U.S. Open which may cause a conflict for the award winner.
In 2010, the Southeastern Amateur will be moved away from U.S. Open week in order to resolve this conflict, and the presentation will then officially move to the Thursday night banquet of the Southeastern Amateur. Beginning then, attendance is limited by available spots, however, it is open to anyone...
Attendance will be granted in order of:
- The top 10 Haskins Award nominees and guests
- Southeastern Amateur Contestants and guests
- Media (please contact Haskins Commission)
- Non-essential Haskins Foundation members
- CCC Membership
- General Public
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 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?
A. The Haskins Commission is funded through private donation.
Q. Can I donate to the Haskins Award?
A. Yes! The Haskins Commission is a not for profit Georgia Organization.
