1960 Cypress Point Scorecard - Bing Crosby and Charley Penna Used

1960 Cypress Point Scorecard - Bing Crosby and Charley Penna Used. Fair condition, with some tape remnants. 6" x 5 1/8". This scorecard shows a little side action between Bing and Charley. Bing bet Charley they he could not par the 16th hole if he did not lay up, Charley hit the green and made a 2! Great piece of history between these friends. The Penna's had a very intimate relationship with the A-list celebrities of the 40's-60's. One of the top celebrities of the Day was Bing Crosby. The Penna's were personal friends as much as golf teacher to pupil. They would play in Bing's tournaments as well as meet him around the country to play exclusive courses like Medinah, Pebble Beach and many more. Great scorecard that shows a great afternoon of golf in Monterey. This item comes from the Penna Family Collection. This highly successful and respected professional golfing family offers golf mementoes from the careers of brothers Toney Penna and Charley Penna, and Tommy Armour whom Toney and Charley worked under for many years as pros at Boca Raton in Florida and various courses in the Chicago area. Toney was a consistent top 20 money winner on the PGA Tour in the 1930's and 40's while his brother Charley competed in 20 U.S. Open and PGA Championships. We have it all from their storied careers in golf both on and off the course, including everything from contestant’s pins, to used sets of clubs, and prototypes for Penna's famous clubs. Toney is an icon when it comes to club making in the 20th Century, first with the MacGregor Golf Company as their chief of design and then later with his own brand of Penna clubs. Many of the designs of club heads used today were first developed by the genius of Toney. We introduce you to this extraordinary collection by offering various lots from the family’s collection in this special British Open offering. This is an opportunity to acquire golf history, possibly for the last time.
