Jack Nicklaus 18th Hole Champaionship Used 18th Hole Flags Up for Auction

18TH HOLE COURSE FLOWN FLAGS FROM JACK NICKLAUS' MAJOR WINS HELD AT BALTUSROL G.C., FIRESTONE C.C.,

AND OAK HILL C.C. APPEAR IN THE GOLF AUCTION.COM ENDING SUNDAY, NOVEMBER 21,

The Golf Auction.com is currently offering the actual flags which flew on the 18th holes at three of Jack Nicklaus' major wins - 14th win the 1975 PGA Championship held at Firestone Country Club in Akron, Ohio on August 10, 1975; 16th win the 1980 United States Open held at Baltusrol Golf Club in Springfield Township, Union County, New Jersey; and 17th win the 1980 PGA held at Oak Hill Country Club in Pittsford, New York (a suburb of Rochester).

These three museum worthy golf treasures of extraordinary proportion are seldom scene made available to the public. A golf tradition over the years is for the championship winners caddy to claim the 18th hole flag. The three incredible momentoes offered this week in THE GOLF AUCTION.COM come from the collection of Hall of Fame caddy Angelo Argea, Nicklaus long-time caddy from the 1960's-1980's. Angelo was "on the bag" for each of these three major victories of Jack, and had him personally autograph the flags.

The President of The Golf Auction.Com, Kenley Matheny summed up his auction houses enthusiasm, "Combine a difficult to obtain item like an 18th hole championship flag with the greatest player in the history of the game in Jack Nicklaus and you have the formula for a record setting price in the golf memorabilia world". The auction is scheduled to close on Sunday, November 21, 2010 interested bidders may find out how to participate at the website, www.Thegolfauction.com or call 813-340-6179

THE GOLF AUCTION FEATURES ESTATE OF HALL OF FAMER LLOYD MANGRUM INCLUDING 1946 US OPEN WINNERS MEDAL

 

The Golf Auction.Com announces that they have  entered into agreement with the daughter and grandson of the late World Golf Hall of Famer Lloyd Mangrum to present his estate of medals, badges, documents, photos and other assorted memorabilia from his PGA career in auction. This public offering will take place  the week of the British Open and will end on 7/18  and viewing of the lots will begin on Sunday 6/20.

Featured items to be bid on from Mangrum's career include his Championship Golf medal from the 1946 US Open, personal contestant badges from past US Opens, along with mementoes from his four Ryder Cup appearances. Also in this offering of roughly 50 items will be several items from Mangrum's 36 Tour championships that saw him win the Western Open twice and the Los Angeles Open four times.

Mangrum's daughter and grandson have also agreed to provide the winner's of each lot from the estate with a letter of authenticity detailing that the purchased item has come directly from Mr. Mangrum's family.

Mangrum, with movie star good looks was a member of the "Texas Gang" that rode out of the hardscrabble caddie yards to plunder the PGA tour in it's first Golden Age, along with Jimmy Demaret, Ben Hogan and Byron Nelson. He joined the Tour in 1937 and quickly established himself setting the course record of 64 in his first round of play ever at the Masters in 1940. This score would not be matched until Jack Nicklaus carded it in the 1960's. Duty to country fighting under General Patton in the second World War saw Mangrum fight bravely at the Battle of the Bulge and earn two Purple Hearts. This only slowed his golf career as he returned better then ever winning the 1946 US Open.

The win at the Open in 1946 was only the start of greatness as he would go on to win 30 more times on Tour for his career total of 36 wins, the 12^th most wins ever by a player in his career. In 1951, Mangrum led the PGA money list. He earned the Vardon Trophy in both 1951 and 1953 with the lowest seasonal scoring average on Tour. An excellent Ryder Cup performer, Mangrum appeared in four matches highlighted by his role as player/captain in the 10^th ever matches in 1953. His career has twice been recognized with the highest honor with induction into the PGA Hall of Fame in 1964 and the World Golf Hall of Fame in 1998.

President of The Golf Auction, Kenley Matheny, summed up the company's excitement about the upcoming July auction "The British Open week auction with the 1946 US Open Championship medal and one of the only Horton Smith signed Golfball known to exist will make this auction one of the strongest offerings of the year".

The auctioning of the medal is important to the golf collecting community as Mangrum medal's  joins only a couple of US Open champion's medals ever sold in a public auction and bidding expects to reach mid five figures.

To participate in the bidding in this internet, phone and mail auction or to place consignments in future auctions please contact through website:www.TheGolfAuction.Com or phone at (813) 340-6179.
