The History of the Haskins Award
Fred Haskins served as the Head Golf Professional for the
Country Club of Columbus (it was first known as the Columbus Country Club) from 1922 to 1951. In '51, Mr. Haskins slowed down
enough to become the Golf Course Superintendant and remained in this capacity until he retired in 1971.
Mr. Haskins true passion was promoting Amateur Golf.
In 1971, local golfers Billy Key, George
Hamer, and Ross and Dupont Kirven got together to create The Haskins
Award to honor his lifelong dedication to golf and his
many teaching accomplishments.
The prestigious Haskins Trophy is
presented annually by the Fred Haskins Commission to honor the most outstanding
college golfer of the year.
Since that time, the Haskins Commission has presented the award thirty-eight times including three multiple winners, Ben Crenshaw, Bobby Clampett, and Phil Mickelson.
The Haskins Commission will be awarding the 39th Haskins Award June 18th, 2009 at the Country Club of Columbus in Columbus, GA during the Southeastern Amateur.
The Haskins Commission is excited about the future of the Award.
Over time, the Haskins Commission will be compiling stories, photos, video, and memorabilia from the extensive history and adding it to this section of the website. We look forward to sharing the history of the Haskins Award with you.
