Havemeyer

The following year, the U.S.G.A. introduced a newly designed trophy that is still in use today. In the year 1996, Garrard, Britain’s Crown Jewelers reproduced the original 1895 trophy based on two photographs. East Lake Golf Club and USGA’s Golf House in Far Hills, New Jersey house the only two replicas of the original Havemeyer Trophy.

The Payne Stewart Award is presented annually to the current or former PGA TOUR player who best exemplifies the professionalism, integrity and commitment to public citizenship that is Payne Stewart’s legacy. The award is accompanied by an annual Payne Stewart Award Grant, presented by Southern Company. This grant is distributed equally to The Stewart Family Foundation, The First Tee facility in Payne’s honor at Kanakuk Kamps, MO, and the charity designated by the award’s recipient. The winner is announced each year at the TOUR Championship. The Payne Stewart Award is the newest addition to East Lake’s collection and is on display in the Atkinson Room.

Calamity Jane

This commemorative putter is an exact copy of Bobby Jones’ original putter. It has a 66 degree lie and 8 degree loft. Jones received the original in 1920 from James Maiden. That putter and a copy were employed by Jones to capture thirteen major championships including the Grand Slam in 1930. In 1925 a fire ravaged through the East Lake Clubhouse. All of Jones’s Clubs were destroyed except for Calamity Jane. The Calamity Jane is given by East Lake Golf Club to the winner of the TOUR Championship each year.

Bobby Jones' Locker

In the men’s locker room at old East Lake, there was actually a double locker bearing Nos. 690 and 691. It still held the most prized treasure in all of golf – Bobby Jones clubs, shoes and other necessary accoutrements of the world champion. Today Jones’ double locker, which the members made for him after winning the 1930 Grand Slam, is displayed in the Golf Shop.
