Ben Sayers Original Oil on Canvas Painting By Football HOF T. McDonald
A framed oil on canvas painting of Ben Sayers is available to bidders in this lot.

Sayers later went into golf course design, was a golf teacher, a manufacturer of golf clubs and equipment. As an added highlight to this multi-faceted treasure the artist of this work is former All-Pro wide receiver and NFL Hall of Famer Tommy McDonald, with his signature applied to the lower right hand corner of his work. The extremely presentable frame measures 28" x 32" and is in excellent condition.

**THE JOHN ROTH COLLECTION**
The January Auction features many items from the collection of John Roth (1940-2015.) John spent 25 years amassing a collection of golf memorabilia and golf antiques that would rival most of the golf museums around the globe. John had a passion for the history and nuance of the game, its traditions and the ever-changing evolution of the manufacture of its equipment. John was a member of the Golf Collectors Society, and actively participated in many of its events around the country. John was also a long-time player in the Society of Hickory Golfers’ tournaments around the country, which honor the traditions of the game by playing with antique, wooden-shafted clubs. During his lifelong participation in the two organizations, John won or placed highly in several tournaments and made many lifelong friends with whom he found camaraderie in his pursuit of all things golf. It is his family’s wish that the items that John treasured so much find loving new homes where they can continue to be enjoyed and tell the history of the sport that meant so much to their husband and father.
