Actual 18th Hole Flag from

Justin Leonard's 1996 Buick Open Win

The Justin Leonard Collection

        In this auction, we are very pleased to offer some incredible pieces of golf memorabilia from Justin Leonard's longtime caddie, Bob Riefke. When we first spoke with Riefke, he shared with us a treasure trove of memorabilia obtained during his many years "inside the ropes." Now, Riefke has decided that these great items will be better appreciated by collectors across the world.

        In addition to receiving a large paycheck at the end of a tournament win, caddies famously remove and keep the pin flag from the 18th green. Representing the highlights of their career, these tournament-used flags are treasured by caddies. As you can imagine, these flags are also highly sought-after by collectors. Presented here is the actual 18th hole flag from the 1996 Buick Open, which was won by Justin Leonard. The flag contains a huge, authentic signature of Justin Leonard.

        This one-of-a-kind flag comes with a letter of authenticity from Justin Leonard's longtime caddie, Bob Riefke.
