OUR CONSIGNOR CADDY HALL OF FAMER CARL S. LAIB
Carl Laib was inducted in 2002 into the Caddy Hall of Fame. The '02 class marked the fourth year of inductions for this dedicated group of individuals who have given so much to the game of golf. Laib spent his career on the L.P.G.A. circuit guiding his players to 28 wins that included 7 Majors while he was on the bag. Among the payers he made a positive impact on while in their employment were L.P.G.A. Hall of Famers Betsy King and Patty Sheehan. With his numerous accomplishments in the game, and a work ethic that is second to none with execution of assignments to precision he had earned his nickname in golf, "the Caddie Machine". Recognized in the ranks for having the most detailed accurate yardage books which had been obtained through diligent hours of course walking, Carl Laib became only the second caddy from the ranks of the L.P.G.A. to be honored with induction into the organizations Hall of Fame. The Golf Auction is honored to have the opportunity to work with the distinguished items from Mr. Laib's collection, our only wish is that the great stories he shared with us about his time on Tour could go along with these items. They kept us in uproarious laughter and awe throughout our visit.
