45th Annual Golf Collectors' Society Annual Meeting & Trade Show - PBA Galleries Fine Golf Books Auction

PBA Galleries will host another auction of Fine Golf Books, Memorabilia, and Fine Golf Clubs at the Golf Collectors' Society Annual Meeting & Trade Show this September 17, 2015. The auction will include a library of golf books and memorabilia, plus a robust offering of rare hickory golf clubs and golf balls. 

Last November, PBA held a successful auction in Las Vegas, also at the GCS Meeting. Some of the highlights of the sale included very spirited bidding on the select group of hickory golf clubs, including a pair of waterfall face clubs that sold for $480.
