What's on ebay? Framed and Matted GGO Print
"This is a hardwood framed & matted print signed Arthur Sarnoff.
This wonderfully illustrated print measures 22 3/4" x 17" (outside frame). Framed & matted under plexiglass, with brown paper backing and a wire for hanging.
Research shows this known illustration is of an original oil painting "Greater Greensboro Open" golf tournament, showing tremendous detail of the 18 th hole, with spectators looking on, surrounded by the famous and beautiful Sedgefield Inn. Other research shows the golfer putting on the green could possibly be Gary Player. Famous and well known for his all black golf attire, and if so, this would most likely be an illustration of the "Greater Greensboro Open" of 1970.
This piece is in great condition with the only issues to be noted is some tearing of the brown paper backing, few scratches on the wood frame, with some light yellowing of the outer edge of the matting. No fading of the print, with all colors remaining vibrant.
This is an estate item, which has been stored in a dry dark room for many years.
Wonderfully illustrated print for most any avid Golfer's collection!"

What's on ebay? 1976 GGO Tom Weiskopf Autograph
"This autographed was obtained in person by me in 1976 at the "GGO". During the final round of the tournament a thunderstorm came up and they stopped play so everyone headed for cover. My wife and I ducted into the basement of a house still under construction on the 14th fairway at Sedgefield Country Club. To our suprise there was one other person already in there and it was Tom Weiskopf! He wasn't very friendly but he agreed to sign a page in my program that was about him. This autograph has been in my personal collection for 36 years and has been in a hard protected cover in my display case."
The ggoblogger thinks this is a great story.
