Golf is often perceived as a boring game for old white dudes. The MGA has been working tirelessly since 2006 to change that perception. Case in point, their members aren’t just a bunch of old whi… well, they’re not old anyways.
Unable for years to find a suitable trophy for their July classic, The Bratish Open (winner gets the Claret Juggs), the MGA was finally forced to create their own trophy from scratch.
It all began in early 2012 with a stroke of luck (actually two strokes, but he only marked one on the card). That was when MGA Co-founder and El Presidente Jon “Lucky Kick” Morley noticed the jug section of the real Claret Jug resembled a woman’s torso. An odd-shaped woman’s torso, but a torso nonetheless. Inspired, he put his considerable artistic skills to use and came up with a prototype for the new Claret Juggs.
After a few more emails and a phone call that made very little sense to either side, a clay sample was produced and pictures were sent for approval.
While excited to see the concept in 3D form, Morley saw a few flaws with the juggs. So he drafted an email back to innocent, 20-something Cindy, at the Sainthood Industry, explaining his concerns.
Aaaaand the attachments; exactly as they were sent to angelic Cindy.
The email worked! A few days later, Morley opened the pictures of the new sculpt and was thrilled with what he saw.
The Claret Juggs will be awarded to the winner of the Bratish Open at each of the MGA's chapters this year.
