Scarce original Old Golf Course St Andrews No

Scarce original Old Golf Course St Andrews No. 18 Hole Official Tee Plaque circa pre-1988/89 - inscribed Hole No. 18 - Old Course-Par for S. I. 6 complete with St Andrews Links logo overall 10.75" x 13.5". Note the consignor who was one of the greenkeepers at St Andrews Links and at around 1988-1989 the redesigned Jubilee Course was opened, longer than the previous course, the older golfers asked for a shorter version to play "The Bronze Course" using the old boxes from The Old Course with new boxes going out on The Old Course. Approximately 10 years ago the signage around the golf courses was refreshed and the greenkeepers were given the opportunity to take any old signage they liked. The consignor opted for the 17th tee of the Jubilee course which at that time he worked on and took the tee box along with the attached 17th tee sign. The wooden tee box and sign were put in the consignor's garden and over the years the tee box became worse for wear. The consignor removed the sign and binned the box and to his surprise he found the above 18th tee box plaque beneath the other sign. The above gives prospective purchasers the opportunity to acquire a piece of history from The Old Course.
