Up until the 1980s, men’s D1 golf had a pair of really incredible traveling trophies - one for the winning team and one for the individual champion - which were held by the winning program(s) for the year. Along with showing it off throughout the next season, the winners got to literally etch their names into history and then arrive at the next championship with hardware in hand to remind everyone who was the defending champ.
Surely such important artifacts, passed around for 4-6 DECADES, have been retired to a nice lavish display case somewhere, right? If they are, then the NCAA, GCAA, USGA, and various people who have been involved in college golf since the early 1980s don’t seem to know about where that might be. That’s...interesting. Welcome to my personal obsession, an ongoing hunt for the Maxwell Cup and Chick Evans Bowl!
