Golfing memorabilia: statues and figurines

The collection of golf memorabilia dates back to the beginning of the sport in Scotland in the 15th century. Early collectors of golf memorabilia primarily focused on acquiring golf clubs and balls. As the sport grew in popularity, so too did the variety of golf-related items that were produced and collected. This included golf bags, tees, scorecards, photographs, autographs programs art works and golfing clothing and accessories.
