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
