Co-hosts Kathy Bissell and Gary VanSickle find out about the special historic collection at Merion Golf Club from John Capers III, club historian, and learn how George Perto , at large director of the Golf Heritage Society, found his collecting dreams come true with golf.
We see some of George's U.S. Open medal collectibles from 1955 (Jack Fleck defeated Ben Hogan) and 1897 when Willie Anderson was kept from winning his first U.S. Open by Joe Lloyd. He also shows collectible pins, one formerly belonging to Ray Floyd. Then there's autographed memorabilia including items signed by Jack Nicklaus, Ernie Els and Tiger Woods. John shows the putter used by David Graham to win his second major, U.S. Open in 1981 at Merion, and the shoes Justin Rose wore winning his U.S. Open.
