The Bob Jones Award is the highest honor given by the United States Golf Association in recognition of distinguished sportsmanship in golf. It is named in honor of Bob Jones (March 17, 1902 - December 18, 1971) who was the most successful amateur golfer to compete on a national and international level. Jones founded and helped to design the Augusta National Golf Club and co-founded the Master Tournament. The award bronze was created by sculptor Zenos Frudakis.

“Medusa with the Head” by Luciano Garbati.
The project, that was started before the pandemic was unveiled Yesterday, October 13. The artist is from Argentina, and sculpted the original in 2008.
It is located in Collect Pond Park, across from New York County Criminal Courthouse. It will be on display at the location until April 2021.
The project was brought to Laran Bronze by Vanessa Solomon who managed the project. It was slowed down due to the pandemic and travel restrictions. It is a reversal of Cellini’s Perseus with the Head of Medusa, who was punished for being a rape a rape victim in the original story. It has since gone viral as a symbol of feminism and controversy.
