The Arnold Palmer Golf Game - Arnie's Best 18 Golf Holes
Box measures 13" x 22", all pieces are included
A classic item is offered in this lot, The Arnold Palmer Golf Game - Arnie's Best 18 Golf Holes produced by Gameauthentics in 1975. The game comes with game pieces to replicate the yardage of a tee shot, fairway shots, approach, and putting by spinning the piece. The layout of the game represents some of The King's favorite holes at different golf courses he graced in his career. This lot comes with the original Rules page and a short bio on Palmer and why he chose the holes that comprise 'Arnie's Best 18.' The following courses and holes are on the game board:
Olympic Club - 16th Hole
Cypress Point Club - 17th Hole
Seminole Golf Club - 15th Hole
Merion Golf Club - 13th Hole
Southern Hills Country Club - 12th Hole
Cherry Hills Country Club - 17th Hole
Bay Hill Club - 17th Hole
Oakland Hills Country Club - 16th Hole
Medinah Country Club - 2nd Hole
Augusta National - 12th & 13th Holes, 'Amen Corner'
Laurel Valley Golf Club - 18th Hole

The Country Club - 11th Hole
Baltusrol Golf Club - 4th Hole
Pebble Beach Golf Links - 8th Hole
Champions Golf Club - 14th Hole
Oakmont Country Club - 15th Hole
We're glad Arnie included Oakmont Country Club, host of this year's U.S. Open tournament, where Palmer is expected to reunite with Jack Nicklaus. The duo made golf history at the 1962 U.S. Open at Oakmont, when Nicklaus outdueled Palmer in an 18-hole playoff to earn his first major championship. All contents of the game are in great condition, while the box itself does show evidence of wear, see photos.
