Arnold Palmer The King Bids Farewell Open St Andrews Swilken Bridge Woven Tapestry Throw Blanket
This is a woven jacquard-style commemorative throw blanket honoring Arnold Palmer on the occasion of his final appearance at the British Open (The Open Championship). The design is formatted to resemble the front page of a newspaper titled The World, with a dateline of July 22, 1995, in St. Andrews, Scotland. The central woven graphic depicts Palmer standing atop the historic Swilcan Bridge, raising his hat to the crowd in a farewell gesture. The blanket features the headline The King Bids Farewell and the sub-headline Palmer shares a final toast with Britain. A side text box notes Daly Grabs Share of Lead With Tomori and Faxon, referring to John Daly during the 1995 tournament. The blanket is constructed of multi-colored woven fibers and finished with a multi-colored fringed border. The reverse side shows the corresponding negative color pattern typical of jacquard weaving. 53"x 68"
The Michael Mazzeo Collection
"Mike Mazzeo was my regular caddie for 18 and a half years. Mike was family. I’m supposed to tell Mike he can’t come to Augusta?” Fuzzy Zoeller didn't often mince words, and this time was no exception when speaking to the Augusta Chronicle on his 1983 Masters caddy choice. It was a telling response, and the feeling was mutual. "I laughed everyday," Mazzeo answered without hesitation when asked what it was like to loop for Fuzzy, whom he still refers to as either "The Boss" or even "The Pied Piper of Golf" three decades later. The relationship started in Zoeller's second year on tour in 1976 and lasted until 1995, with a year and a half break between 1980 and '82. Philadelphia-born, 'The Strategist' was "renown for his precision and expertise" as remembered by the CaddyBytes website in its review of the the games 'legendary caddies' for their "Haul" of Fame. Footage of the 1984 US Open at Winged Foot shows the young, visor clad Mazzeo in stride with Zoeller. The team out-dueled Greg Norman for that memorable feat and 7 others on the PGA Tour. Mazzeo labeled and kept everything his partner gave him, as Zoeller advised him to do saying it "might be worth something someday." Significant balls, flags, some gloves, bags with duck headcovers and even Zoeller's 1984 US Open winning, dated 'FUZ' clubs - Mazzeo's time capsule had it all. Finishing up his career, Mazzeo carried the bags of Curtis Strange, Mike Donald, Mike Reid, Ben Crane and more. Mazzeo then proved he wasn't done, notching a pair of 'W's' - one with both Reid and Crane. With an unmatched work ethic and sense of humility, Mazzeo was well respected by players and his peers while on Tour. In this auction we proudly offer The Mike Mazzeo Collection.
