Fred Haskins Fred Haskins was born in Hoylake, England, on May 1, 1898. In 1921, he came to Atlanta's East Lake Country Club, where he became a close friend of Bobby Jones, who recommended Mr. Haskins for the Head Golf Professional position at the Columbus Country Club in 1922. His greatest impact was in teaching and inspiring junior golfers. As a tribute to his teaching abilities, his young pupils went on to win more than 150 championships. In the early 1930s, Mr. Haskins also started the Columbus Country Club Invitational Tournament, now held annually as the Southeastern Amateur. Mr. Haskins retired in 1952 after 34 years of service, but remained at the Columbus Country Club as golf course superintendent until 1971. Also in 1971, the Fred Haskins Award was established to honor his lifelong dedication to golf and his teaching accomplishments. The Haskins Trophy, which is nationally regarded as the Heisman of golf, is presented annually by the Fred Haskins Commission to honor the outstanding collegiate golfer in the United States. Mr. Haskins died on April 5, 1981. Fred Haskins was inducted into the Georgia Golf Hall of Fame on January 4, 1992.

As the founder of the AGCP, my experience as a Professional dates back to the 1960s where I got my first lessons about golf clubs from Howard Pitts at the Columbus Country Club in Columbus Georgia. Howard had been an assistant to Fred Haskins and learned Clubmaking from Mr. Haskins when hickory was used for shafts. I was fortunate enough to meet Mr. Haskins and spend a lot of time with Howard while I was the assistant Professional at the Columbus Country Club. I learned a lot about the golf swing from Howard (Mr. Haskins) as well as from my boss, Mr. Charles M. Harper the Professional at Columbus Country Club. Later while I was the Head Professional at the Sand Hill Golf Course at Fort Benning GA I learned a great deal more about the golf swing from Bob Toski at the PGA School. Much of what I learned about golf clubs and the golf swing and how they work came into play in the 70s when I managed Cindo Golf Shop in Columbus and was the Head Professional at Four Lakes Golf Club in Midland GA. At Cindo we manufactured golf clubs from components. Cindo was the first shop to do this in Columbus and possible among the first shops in the country to do custom assembly for our customers and sell our own brands.
