European Team Signed 2008 Ryder Cup at Valhalla White Embroidered Flag
A complete European Ryder Cup Team signed 2008 embroidered flag is offered in this lot. The dominant European team had won three consecutive Ryder Cups, prior to falling to the US 16 1/2 to 11 1/2. This flag contains 14 signatures from Ryder Cup legends and many major winners. These include Nick Faldo, Sergio Garcia, Padraig Harrington, Jose Maria Olazabal, Justin Rose, Nick Faldo, Graeme McDowell, Lee Westwood, Ian Poulter, Henrik Stenson, Paul Casey and Robert Karlsson. James Spence Authentication (JSA) has reviewed this signature and their auction letter of authenticity comes with this lot.
During the current COVID-19 pandemic, many businesses from around the globe have been disrupted or closed, forcing employees to be laid off or furloughed. Concerned about what is going to happen, all we can do is remain hopeful for a return to some sort of normalcy. Like so many others, it’s hitting the Caddies from the PGA Champions Tour hard as they have been without work since the Hoag Classic on March 8th. With fewer events, smaller fields, and enjoying their neighbors on the course, this tight knit family of PGA Champions Tour Caddies look out for each other like family, because that is what they are.
Martin Courtois, four-time Champions Tour winner Rocco Mediate’s bagman, felt there was something that could be done to help his fellow Caddies. One text led to a phone call, that call led to another, and the idea all began to snowball at a quick pace. Here we are at The Golf Auction a few weeks later presenting eclectic offerings to help raise funds to be distributed equally among the fulltime Caddies on the PGA Champions Tour.
There are items spread all throughout the auction to help benefit the Caddies, and you can view all of these by either perusing the auction page by page, or you can simply click the Caddies For A Cause category on the sidebar to place them on a single viewable page. Some of these items include one of a kind golfing experiences with professional golfers at prestigious courses around the country, unique signed flags, bibs, posters, gloves, photos, and much more. Please register to place your bids and let The Golf Auction (sales@thegolfauction.com) know if you have any questions.
If an item or golfing experience is not in your sights, but you would still like to make a charitable donation to Caddies For A Cause, please message Brad@thegolfauction.com or call our office 813.210.9761 and we will be more than happy to put you in contact with Martin. A Caddie is always there to assist, and if there is anything you can do to help assist the Champions Tour Caddies during these trying times, please reach out. Thank you.
