Kent Recognition continues to define what it means to operate a family-run business. Led by Geoffrey Kent, the great grandson of founder , Benjamin Kent, the business has expanded beyond traditional retailing to cater to corporate and individual clients on a custom basis. Our expertise has migrated to creating and supplying replica trophies in gold, silver, silver plate and pewter and custom designed recognition awards in silver, bronze and crystal. Working closely with all our clients we start with one powerful idea and then forge a finished product which specifically meets their requirements. He’s right, of course. The home advantage is a thing. Remember, for the 2008 match in Valhalla, US captain Paul Azinger got the course superintendent to cut off tree limbs to facilitate JB Holmes’s fade while he also asked for no rough beyond 300 yards to facilitate his big hitters. And let’s not forget the enviable swag. Ralph Lauren, the official outfitter for the U.S. Ryder Cup team for the fifth consecutive time, provides a scripted wardrobe for players, their caddies and wives, and PGA executives. In 2018, Team Europe was treated to a nice gift indeed— a personalized Rolex watch from captain Thomas Bjorn. It's always fair as noone lets anyone else cheat! You just need one Longest Drive Golf Trophy - make it a nice one.

Again corporate, charity and social golf days of all types will always have a Longest Drive Golf Trophy for usually one hole designated for the Longest Drive challenge. A long hole, normally a Par 5 but not always, will be chosen with a long fairway. You'll need a marker which the golfers put in place. Established in 2008 and with 15 years of experience and research behind them, Copytrophy sit proudly at the top of the replica sports trophy business. Unrivalled for quality, attention to detail and customer service, Copytrophy provide individually hand-crafted replicas of many iconic sporting trophies from around the globe, including Europe as well as USA. As McIlroy put it: “We play an individual sport and golf is a game where you win quite seldomly. You win two or three times a year and it’s a great year. But we only get one opportunity at this every two years. To be surrounded by people who care as much about it as you do, it makes it very, very meaningful. The atmosphere we played in this week, I don’t think it can be replicated in any other golf tournament in the world. And that means something, to be able to play under that pressure in that atmosphere, win your point and do what you are supposed to do for your team. It means the world to me and I am sure it means the world to everyone else.Instead after an unofficial match between the American amateurs who had travelled over for the 1921 Amateur Championship at Royal Liverpool and their British counterparts was a success – unlike the match between the pros that year– the USGA and the R&A agreed to play an official amateur match between USA and Great Britain & Ireland. Other incredibly popular replica trophies from the world of American Football include the Lamar Hunt trophy, the George Hallas trophy (awarded to the AFC and NFC conference play-off winners respectively) and the Heisman Trophy awarded to the year’s outstanding college football player.

Kent Recognition is a clear leader in the field of offering replica trophies. Taking measurements and making impressions to create tooling from the original trophy our craftsmen are able to reproduce exact replicas of the original trophies for presentation or display purposes. These replica trophies are typically produced in sterling silver, copper silver plate or gold but on occasion may be produced using pewter.Many people assume the figure on the trophy represents the man who commissioned it in 1927, English seed merchant Samuel A Ryder. However, in fact it is golfer Abe Mitchell, a friend and coach of Ryder's who eventually played in the match three times. Where Was The Ryder Cup Trophy Made? Having an immaculate replica trophy in your lounge, man cave or in your sports club or bar will be a constant reminder of the glory days and a motivation to succeed again! When it began, the Ryder Cup didn't have nearly the significance it has today. However, by 1973, the British team had expanded to include Ireland, and, six years later, it changed again, to include all of continental Europe. That modest trophy commissioned almost a century ago has grown in stature, too, and nowadays is one of the most iconic in sport. Who Is The Figure On The Ryder Cup Trophy?
