Willie Park Sr. Litho, Signed by Artist Arthur Weaver - 18/250

In 1860, Park won the inaugural British Open, contested among the eight leading professional golfers of the day. They went around the 12 holes at Prestwick three times in one day. Playing with the gutta percha ball, which had just been invented three years earlier and flew a maximum of 190 yards, Park shot a 174. Indeed, the rivalry between Willie Park Sr. and Tom Morris Sr. kept the tournament alive through its formative years until the arrival of Young Tom Morris; in its first eight years Willie won three times and Old Tom won four. Moreover, in the same time frame, Willie was runner-up four times and Tom twice. It is small wonder that these two men were revered in Scotland and everywhere that golf was played. Here is a piece signed by renown artist Arthur Weaver and framed to 32" by 27."This piece will come with a signed letter from Historian Bob Denney of the PGA, proclaiming that this item comes from their collection.
