Overview

Founders Cup Trophy

The trophy is titled:

Melville Glades Golf Club Inc

Founders Cup

The Founders Cup (perpetual) Trophy is a silver plated, two handled cup mounted on a multi-tiered, circular wooden base. The lid of the cup is removable, although it is slightly out of shape and does not fit easily onto the cup. A wire mesh grate sits inside the cup. The purpose of the mesh grate is possibly symbolic as if the cup were to be used as a fire pit.

Winners' names on the cup appear on silver shields attached in mutiple rows around the wooden base. Winners' names also appear on honour boards (Items 2022.195).

Trophy photography completed by club member Tom Arnautovic.
