Golf Memorabilia
The V W Golf was planned to be a worthy successor to the venerable Beetle, a move that required dynamic thinking and a clean drawing board if Volkswagen was to continue to hold its position as one of the top automobile manufacturers. Where the Golf differed from the crowd was its distinctive body design. for here was the world's first hatchback. When Volkswagen launched the Golf GTI, over thirty years ago, it could hardly have known the impact its compact and sporty model would have on the car-buying public. Through an uncertain birth to its class-topping iconic status of today, rarely does a new model of car make a whole new market segment for itself but the Golf was the original hot hatch, a car that others would copy but seldom equal.
It is only in the last 30 years that golfing memorabilia has become seriously collectable. There have always been aficionados who have purchased golfing items but since the early 1980s the market for golfing items has changed out of all recognition. Before then there had been little that was produced solely for the collectors' market. Everything had a purpose, whether it was a ticket to the Masters, a mashie niblick, Tom Morris feathery ball, a guide to a particular course, an advertising figurine, a championship medal, or even a postcard of a famous player. Arranged by theme, Kevin McGimpsey gives a history of many collectables and warns you of the fakes and how to spot them. Profusely illustrated with superb color photographs, the book is an ideal guide for the armchair golfer and collector.
