Kel Nagle Signed Mounted Black Golf Glove with Nameplate
Champion Golfer of the Year Kel Nagle edged out Arnold Palmer by a stroke to win his career defining Major title at the 1960 Open Championship. Offered here is a black glove signed by Nagle in gold marker about the '1960' nameplate. Nagle had 82 professional wins and was inducted into the World Golf Hall of Fame in 2007. Once part of a display with each of The Open Champion's single-signed golf gloves, it is adhered securely to the backing with the nameplate following suit.
Originally obtained through Sanders' connections and celebrity status as a staple in golf for over two decades. The 20-time PGA Tour winner Doug Sanders was picked as a member of the 1967 Ryder Cup Team and obtained the nickname "The Peacock of the Fairways" with his colorful wardrobe. With friends in high places, a typical pro-am tournament field Sanders took part in might have consisted of names such as George H.W. Bush, Neil Armstrong and Willie Nelson. A large number of items that Doug collected over his playing career and thereafter are on display at The Doug Sanders Museum. Sharing in the joy of collecting, the generated funds from this sale will help benefit the Doug Sanders Museum. A signed letter of provenance from the museum will accompany this item. James Spence Authentication (JSA) has reviewed this signature and their auction letter of authenticity comes with this lot.
