Lot 282-Langer on Putting

   A book on putting by Mr. Yips?  Where's the book on straight driving by Seve?

[peter_p]

Scott,
I think this was after he cured the yips the first time.

Update: The prices are lower than expected and some items (club histories) didn't sell. Up to about #20.

Use the "real time bidder" to bid, "prices realized" to check what sold.

[peter_p]

Tom Doak's bubble hasn't burst. His signed limited edition maroon Confidential Guide went for $900 to a floor bidder.

[Brian Phillips]

Peter,

I lost that one by $50. I punched in too late here in Norway on the last bid...bummer..

[peter_p]

Brian, sorry you missed out.
Scott, was that your winning $50 bid on Langer?

Signed MacDonald Scotland's Gift:Golf-$6500; a signed Mackenzie Golf Architecture -$3000. The Wethered/Simpson went for $7000 bid.

I'd be interested to know the level of interest by this group. I got the book I wanted. All IMs or emails will be confidential.
