Golf Auction at the Poconos on Sunday September 18th at 5:00 PM EDT

It has now become a PBA Galleries tradition: host their late summer golf auction at the Golf Collectors' Society meeting each September. It's a great partnership. Nowhere else in America will you have such a gathering of golf memorabilia enthusiasts, and nowhere else will you get a collection of premier golf antique books, clubs, and more, curated by an attentive staff and catalogued by intelligent antiquarian experts.

According to their website, this auction offers:

Offered in this sale are over 200 lots for the golf collector including books, photographs, trophies, medals, autographs, ephemera, and other memorabilia including a large selection of early golf clubs.

But, I encourage you to take a look for yourself. There is always something new and surprising to be offered at PBA Galleries, such as this original silverprint photograph of Bernard Darwin:



Your study is not complete without a bronze sculpture of Bobby Jones:
Lot 90: Sculpture of Bobby Jones



And for those who collect golf club histories, this one is among the rarest:
Lot 52: The Honourable Company of Edinburgh Golfers at Muirfield, 1891-1914



And there is a lovely selection of over 30 hickory shafted golf clubs from early 20th century. Check out these lovely hickories:

Lot 173: Early Belgian Chole Stick
