Seve Ballesteros Signed Royal Lytham & St. Annes Golf Club Golf Ball
The 1988 Open Championship was held at Royal Lytham & St Annes Golf Club and due to heavy rain was the first Open to finish on Monday. Ballesteros shot a final round of 65 to claim his third Claret Jug and fifth Major victory, finishing two strokes ahead of the 54-hole leader Nick Price. Sourced from The Doug Sanders Museum Collection is this Seve Ballesteros Signed Royal Lytham & St. Annes Logo Titleist Golf Ball, originally obtained through Sanders' connections and celebrity status as a staple in golf for over two decades. "Seve" Ballesteros a World No. 1 who was one of the sport's leading figures from the mid-1970s to the mid-1990s. Ballesteros won five major championships between 1979 and 1988: the Open Championship three times, and the Masters Tournament twice. He is best known for his great short game, and his erratic driving of the golf ball. He is generally regarded as the greatest Spanish golfer of all time. 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. Some signature smearing from handling is exhibited on this ball, as shown in the photos. A signed letter of provenance from the museum will accompany this item. James Spence Authentication (JSA) has reviewed this signature and their FULL letter of authenticity #XX06912 comes with this lot.
