In '51, Mr. Haskins slowed down enough to become the Golf Course Superintendent 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 Collegiate Golfer of the year. At that time, no other award existed in college golf, so it was the perfect venue to create an award that promoted the game of golf while focusing on the amateur side of the game. The Haskins Commission decided the award would be determined by popular vote amongst Golf Writers, Coaches, and the athletes. And that the Haskins Commission itself would be merely administrators of the ballot process. The Commission has made minor changes along the way such as including past recipients of the award in the balloting process but as a whole, still abides by the original vision of the award. Since that time, the Haskins Commission has presented the award over 40 times including three multiple winners, Ben Crenshaw, Bobby Clampett, and Phil Mickelson. 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. The Fred Haskins Commission is based at the Country Club of Columbus, Columbus, Ga. Home of the Southeastern Amateur Golf Tournament. The Southeastern Amateur Golf Tournament was created by Mr. Fred Haskins shortly after accepting the position of Head Professional at the Country Club of Columbus in 1922. The Fred Haskins Commission administers the ballot process in which Division One collegiate golfers as well as national golf writers are asked to choose one of their peers as "The Most Outstanding Collegiate Golfer of the Year". © Copyright 1971-2009 All Rights Reserved The Fred Haskins Commission Country Club of Columbus The Fred Haskins Commission PO Box 1339 Columbus, GA 31902-1339 Info@HaskinsAward.org
