Sterling Golf Trophy Richard 'Dick' Sargent - Wykagyl Country Club - Saturday Evening Post 1954 & Photograph holding the trophy
Don't miss an opportunity to own this piece of history from celebrated Saturday Evening Post artist, painter and illustrator, Richard 'Dick' Sargent. Sargent's work graced the cover of The Saturday Evening Post 47 times between 1951 and 1962. His red headed son, Anthony, was a frequent inspiration for Sargent's work.
In 1954, Sargent and his son, Anthony, won the Father and Son Golf championship at the prestigious Wykagyl Country club in New Rochelle, New York.

this trophy.
Dick Sargent gushed about winning the tournament, given his small statute and lackluster past as an athlete.

Sargent spent his last years living in Spain, where he died at the age of 67 in 1978.
