Let me guess - you thought Merion Golf Club only uses wicker baskets, not pin flags, right?

Offered here is one of the rarest course-used flags in existence - a course-used pin flag from famed Merion Golf Club. Because of all the attention Merion gets with its wicker basket standards, most everyone overlooks the fact that those wicker baskets are only used on 18 of Merion's 36 holes. Indeed, Merion's West course uses rather traditional pin flags. Offered here is one of those rare course-used Merion flags. We've had the privilege of auctioning a couple recent embroidered Merion pin flags, but this is the first truly vintage Merion used flag that we have ever found. And what a beauty it is!
