Bobby Clampett's 1983 World Mixed Championship w/Betsy King Glass Globe Trophy
United States' Bobby Clampett teamed up with 6-time major winner and World Golf Hall of Famer Betsy King to win the 1983 $100,000 World Mixed Championship in Monte Carlo. The pair of (co-ed) crowns fit just right after carding a final round 67, for a 17-under 271 total, and a presentation that included $25,000 winners checks and this jaw-dropping glass globe trophy. It was a two-stroke win over runners-up Sally Little and Mark McNulty of South Africa, narrowly missing with their 68 Sunday tally. King was a last-minute (two weeks notice) fill-in for Clampett's original partner Donna White Horton, making it extra special for King. Exuding class and standing 8" x 8" x 14 1/2" tall is this glass globe on golf tee trophy atop a plinth bearing a nameplate that reads "1983 World Mixed Championship." That detailed globe is removable from the tee, as depicted in the accompanying lot photos. A signed letter from Mr. Clampett will accompany this lot.
Simplifying the golf swing while instructing a diverse group of golfers through both his authored 'Impact Zone' books and lessons comes second nature to Bobby Clampett, now teaching and residing in Naples, Florida - as he mastered the swing as a player himself. The 1979 Masters and 1978 US Open Low Amateur honoree, the BYU alumni where he was a two-time Fred Haskins Award, is a Hall of Famer there as well as in the California and Utah Golf Hall of Fames.
