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 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 not a single piece of Old Course memorabilia
not directly related to the Open Championship.
Offered here is a truly rare opportunity to obtain an 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 one - and only one.
Therefore, for the first, and likely only, time we are pleased to offer this
original piece of the Old Course at St. Andrews.
This original 6th hole tee marker comes with a letter of authenticity from
the St. Andrews Links Trust. It has been spectacularly framed and will
surely be the highlight of almost any golf collection.
