Original 1997 Ryder Cup Yardage Book

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.

        Caddie Yardage Books have long been a favorite of collectors, but very few significant tournament-used yardage books have ever been offered publicly for sale. Presented here is a very rare yardage book from the 1997 Ryder Cup. With only 24 players competing in each Ryder Cup, tournament-used items such as yardage books never come up for sale. This very well may be the only chance to ever obtain such a rare piece of Ryder Cup memorabilia. This yardage book was actually used by Justin Leonard and his caddie Bob Riefke during the 1997 Ryder Cup, which was held at Valderrama, and it contains extensive handwritten notes throughout!

         This collection of original yardage books comes with a letter of authenticity from Justin Leonard's longtime caddie Bob Riefke.
