Savauge trophy for women's handicap arrives in Seaforth by Greyhound bus A surprise addition to the trophies on the fireplace mantel at the Seaforth Golf Club arrived recently by Greyhound bus from Nanaimo, B.C. Bob Norris, of the Staffa area, had received a call from his friend Gerry Meir in Nanaimo inquiring if there was still a golf club in Seaforth. When Bob replied in the affirma- tive, Meir explained that he had in his possession a silver trophy that was originally from the Seaforth Golf Club. His mother, Mrs. H.G. Meir (Bessie) had won the trophy in 1937, the last year it was presented and it had remained in the Meir family ever since. Meir wanted to make sure the tro- phy ended up in a place it would be displayed and appreciated and the Seaforth Golf Club placed it on the mantel alongside many other tro- phies. The trophy was donated to the club in 1922 by Fred S. Savauge and was presented each year to the women's handicap (low net) club champion. Winners on the Fred S. Savauge trophy in chronological order are: 1922 Peggy Taggart, 1923 Marg Brydone, 1924 Mrs. J.P. Mullen, 1925 Dora A. Sills, 1926 Edna McMurchre, 1927 Ella McKenzie, 1928 Elizabeth McLean, 1929 Lore McLauchlin, 1930 Ella McKenzie, 1931 Mrs. W. Parks, 1932 Mrs. T. Swan -Smith, 1933 Mary Stewart, 1934 and 1935 Mrs. H.G. Meir, 1936 Norma Jeffrey and 1937 Mrs. H.G. Meir. The trophy was probably retired when the old golf course closed. The Fred. S. Savauge Cup has been placed right beside the Cresswell trophy, presented to the men's handicap winner each year and donated to the original Seaforth golf club in 1921 by Ralph Cresswell. The Cresswell trophy was donated by Frank Sills when the Doig family opened the present Seaforth Golf Cam Doig poses Golf Club's other Club in 1960. with the Fred S. Savauge trophy that recently joined the Seaforth trophies on the club mantel.
