What's on eBay? 1976 GGO Program

"1976 Greater Greensboro Open (GGO) Program This program represents the GGO (what locals called it then) golf tournament played in Greensboro, NC. It is now called the Wyndham Championship. It's had a lot of name changes but the tournament has never left Greensboro and it started in 1938. The program has all the stats, bios, ads, photos, and local info. like any program. The centerfold shows a layout of the course. Al Geiberger won the tournament in 1976. Some former winners up to 1976 were Byron Nelson, Ben Hogan and Sam Snead. There are a couple of tickets for free pairing sheets at the front of the program. The last page is an autograph page with the printed names of the celebrities that were supposed to be there (banquet, pro-am). Some of the names listed are Roy Clark, Evel Knivel, Don Knotts, and Jerry Lewis. Unfortunately, the previous owner did not get any autographs. The program is in fair conditon and the cover does show wear. From about the centerfold to the end of the program there are some creases and moisture wrinkles on the pages. There are no stains and none of the pages stick together."
