The Macdonald Cup is a 54-hole golf tournament that is held annually and is similar to the Ryder Cup. The tournament is hosted by a different club each year, with the hosting privileges rotating among the participating clubs. The tournament features teams from Macdonald-designed courses. The 2023 Macdonald Cup was hosted by Yale University's men's golf team at the Yale Golf Course. The 2024 Macdonald Cup will be held at Sleepy Hollow Country Club. The Macdonald Cup is one of the premier college golf tournaments Other clubs that participate in the Macdonald Cup include National Golf Links, The Creek, Piping Rock, St. Louis CC, and Mid Ocean. It appears in 1997 the Macdonald Cup, named for Charles Blair Macdonald, renowned golf course architect, champion golfer, and co-founder of the USGA was played in St Louis MO at St Louis Country Club. This 8 inch wide plate was likely given to participants or winners at the tournament. It weighs in at a hefty 150.5 grams (just under 5 Troy ounces). This is a collectible any golf enthusiast - particularly one who played in college or professionally - would love to have as only a few select schools are even extended the opportunity to play each year. The etched design leaves a bit to be desired. It?s not easy to see - especially in photos - and might benefit from a good deep polishing. No personalization and marked STERLING on back. See photos. Still trying to figure out who won that year as the records we found only go back to 2003 online. Will ship USPS with tracking to winning buyer
