1961 US Open Walter Hagen with Arnold Palmer, Cary Middlecoff, & Sam Snead Photo from Estate with Letter
For the first time in 20 years up for auction from The Walter Hagen Collection is this 1961 US Open Walter Hagen with World Golf Hall of Famers Arnold Palmer, Cary Middlecoff, & Sam Snead Photo. In the letter of provenance the previous photo owner explains that they met Walter Hagen at the home of their father-in-law Carlton Plyler Sr. where Walter purchased a Brittany Spaniel from his Larue Kennels Company. The Plyler family then started caring for Hagen's dog during his extended, often extravagant vacations with his partner Doris Brandes. After Walter's passing in 1969 Doris moved to Cadillac, Michigan and was extended family of the Plylers spending holidays together. Hagen's once travel partner and companion passed away in 1989 and left her estate with her cousin Ruth. Well Ruth, knowing how close Shelby Plyler and her father had gotten to Doris Brandes, gave them a call and signed over the entire estate of Doris, and a lot of Walter's for that matter, to the Plylers. The original letter of authenticity written and signed by Shelby J. Plyler from 2000 when sold as part of THE WALTER HAGEN COLLECTION will come with this photo. 9 5/8" x 8 1/8".
