Actual Old Course at St. Andrews

Bronze Tee Marker

We are frequently contacted by collectors looking something - anything - relating to the Old Course at St. Andrews. Unfortunately, when it comes to the Home of Golf, virtually no interesting pieces of memorabilia exist. While Augusta has its badges and flags and jackets and scorecards and the like, the Old Course at St. Andrews offers virtually nothing to collectors. In fact, a search of our archives reveals only a single piece of Old Course memorabilia not directly related to the Open Championship.

The presented item is a truly rare, actual piece of the Old Course at St. Andrews. For the first time in the course's multi-century history, the St. Andrews Links Trust installed yardage markers on the Old Course in the 1980's. When the course was finally lengthened in 2005, those yardage markers had to be replaced. Jack Nicklaus wanted the 18th hole marker, and our consignor (a very well known television personality) obtained many of the remaining bronze markers. After much begging and pleading, he has finally agreed to allow us to sell this stunning colored bronze tee marker from the 2nd hole.

This original 2nd hole tee marker comes with a letter of authenticity from the St. Andrews Links Trust. Also, the quality of the frame and tartan background cannot be understated - it is truly spectacular!
