What's on eBay? 1967 Greater Greensboro Open (GGO) Program and Jaycee Projector

"1967 Greater Greensboro Open (GGO) Program and Jaycee Projector This program and Jaycees (civic organization and the main sponsor) special edition magazine represent the GGO (what locals called it then) golf tournament played in Greensboro, NC. It is now called the Wyndham Championship. The tournament has had a lot of name changes but it has never left Greensboro and it started in 1938. The program has all the stats, bios, ads, photos, and local info. like any program, plus, many interesting articles. Inside, Woody Durham, yes, the late voice of the UNC Tar Heels, was a local t.v. channel sports director then, wrote a synopsis of every GGO played up to 1967. Bob Hope starred at the pre-tournament banquet (see pic). There is a foldout, layout of the course on the first page. George Archer won this 1967 tournament. Some former winners up to 1967 were Byron Nelson, Ben Hogan and Sam Snead. This program is packed and has 116 pages. It is in very good plus condition."
