Highlights

Lot 302.  Only known 1933 Ryder Cup Menu. From the 4th Ryder Cup at the Southport & Ainsdale Golf Club, when the British team narrowly defeated the Americans 6 1/2-5 1/2. The American team was led by Walter Hagan, Gene Sarazen and Craig Wood while the British team was led by Abe Mitchell, Percy Allis and their coach J.H. Taylor. I have been told the menu of the 4th Ryder Cup is so rare that the host Club at Southport has never even seen one. The 4 1/2” x 7”menu shows a page of toasts on the inside cover and has an ad for the caterers on the back cover and a 4 page insert showing a Wine List, Menu and the Tariff. Condition is excellent to mint. Minimum Bid $5,000

Lot 303.  Incredible 1933 Autographed Ryder Cup Program at Southport, England. An amazing program signed by 11 participants from the fourth Ryder Cup including the very tough signatures of Captain Walter Hagan, Horton Smith and Craig Wood. Other American signatures are Ed Dudley, Olin Dutra, Gene Sarazen, Leo Diegel, Paul Runyan, Denny Shute. British team signatures Are A.H. Padgham and W. H. Davies. All signatures are near perfect in ink except Runyan which is in pencil. The 64 page program is filled with photos of all players, previous teams and layouts of the holes. The centerfold is loose and the front cover has a vertical crease and light light writing in the upper right corner. Very good. Mike Guiterrez COA. Minimum Bid $2,000
