Jack Nicklaus & Caddie Angelo Argea Signed Matted Putting Original Photo
Jack and Angelo, then golf's Batman and Robin. Angelo Argea served as the long time caddy of Jack Nicklaus from the 1960' into the 1980's, teaming up for 44 of Nicklaus' 73 PGA Tour victories. Argea shared his experiences in "The Bear and I: The Story of the World's Most Famous Caddy" published in 1979. The combo penned their names on the original photo of Jack Nicklaus putting found in this lot in uniform blue ballpoint pen with close proximity - just as they were on the course. Argea passed away in 2005 and despite being instrumental in the success of Nicklaus' career, did not sign nearly as frequently. As a result, Argea's signature is seldom seen, with this being one of only a few that we have offered over the years. This crystal clear photo of Jack in time-period Fire Truck Red pants is matted to 8 1/2" x 11." This Paper Manufactured By Kodak' is found on the verso, expected for original photos of this time-period 1972-1989. James Spence Authentication (JSA) has reviewed this signature and their auction letter of authenticity (ALOA) comes with this lot.
