Allen Worrell is holding up the latest “find” from our version of Indiana Jones, Mr. Greg Talley.
Greg Talley stumbled across a rare piece of Golfing History in regards to the Southern Conference and Duke University. Greg, knowing my affection for the School 🏫 that 100 years ago went from Trinity College to Duke University, picked it up and gifted it to the OneofUs.Care Museum.
It turns out that shortly after the name change the Blue Devils had quite a golf ⛳ team, led by Mr. Cliff Perry.
Perry was just recently named to the Greatest 100 Athletes in the history of the Southern Conference !
This trophy 🏆 is from the 1935 Southern Conference Golf ⛳ Championship ( 89 years ago). No idea at all as to how it made its way into a Virginia antique store but I am incredibly grateful 🙏 for Mr.T for bringing it to me and for the fun five minutes that Alan and I got to spend learning about the history of the Trophy 🏆.
Bayard Storm, Walter Justin and Joe Powell rounded out the obviously talented foresome !
