The Lee Crist Collection: Mr. Lee Crist was affectionately known around the Golf Heritage Society and the golf collecting world. This nickname was well earned as Crist was known for archiving and curating one of the most extensive and complete golf tee collections over many decades. He had an extraordinary fascination with the tee is its many shapes, colors, sizes and mediums. If there was a way to prop a golf ball up Lee Crist had an example of the mechanism. The Golf Heritage Society honored the late Lee Crist in its inaugural Hall of Fame class. To accept the award was his wife Barbara and son Sam. During his time collecting he was recognized and featured in numerous publications. The Golf Auction is proud to offer the esteemed collection of an inaugural Golf Heritage Society Hall of Fame member.
