Infamous Craig Stadler Tree Slice from
Torrey Pines DQ
Presented here is an
original slice of the Leland Cypress from the 14th fairway at Torrey Pines
Golf Course personally signed and dated by Craig Stadler. Under this tree,
the infamous "Building a Stance" DQ on 2/15/87 occurred that cost him the
tournament and has become a part of golf lore ever since! On 8/7/96 our
consignor along with Craig Stadler attended the "chain sawing" of this tree.
He was able to oversee the distribution/signing and disposal of the entire
tree and its parts. There were only 30 slabs handed out and of those 30,
only 14 were signed on site. But with Craig's permission only THREE were
hand finished and re-signed beautifully, dated and noted by Craig!
