This Hotel Champlain Golf Cup is an exquisite example of the sterling silver trophies presented in golf competitions in the early 1900s. Notice the art deco swans lovingly crafted into the handles of the cup.  The well-to-do nature of the Hotel’s clientele is underscored by the cup’s being crafted entirely of sterling silver.  Presented by J. Clarence Davies, probably a frequent guest at the Hotel, it was first won by Wilbur S. Roberts in 1916, Joseph L. Nash in 1917, and by Charles Goodwin in 1918 and 1925. Nash and Goodwin were local golfers. Goodwin, president of the Plattsburgh Golf Club 1924-1927, was a scratch golfer in the Conway Cup competitions during the 1920s. The trophy is now in the safekeeping of the Clinton County Historical Association and has been brought back to use after a 79-year hiatus by our Annual Adirondack Hickory Open.

Matthew Dodds presents the trophy to last year’s winner, Randy Jensen. 

We have made a new base, upon which we place engraved plaques of our ADK Hickory Open winners.  We encourage you to come see the trophy on display at this year’s event:  July 29th and 30th!
