Actual Contestant's Badge from Nicklaus' 1966 British Open Win

    Presented here is one of the most spectacular Contestant's Badges that we have ever offered.  This is an actual contestant's badge from Jack Nicklaus' first British Open victory.  Nicklaus overcame a 2 shot deficit on Sunday at famed Muirfield to hold the claret jug for the first time.  This badge was used by one of Jack's fellow competitors in that event.  Very few competitor's badges from Nicklaus' majors have ever been offered for sale, and we are proud to have the opportunity to auction this one.
