The Marek Trophy
Most golf clubs and tournaments, even on the PGA Tour have generic trophies. There is little personal about them. At Sand Valley they’ve latched onto a trophy for the Club Championship or a huge national event hosted by the club that is literally a work of art. Donated by Marek Majewski, a local businessman who owns the beautiful Guesthouse Megi www.pensjonatmegi.com , and a factory in Indonesia that manufactures hand carved furniture www.meblestylowe.com, he had one of his staff craft this 1.70 meter (5 foot 9 inch) teak golfer.
In decades to come, people may wonder about the Asian eyed trophy with the Polish name. All they’ll have to do is look in the club records to learn more about its roots… Marek the furniture mogul.
