Golf news is almost sounding like my Nanny in grade school, who provides comfort while in school, prepares snacks, rides with me on the school bus and protects me like an angry hen. This analogy is appropriate since golf does not only broadcast news and recent happening but also the minutest details like collecting golf flags, the love life of participants and health scores of the front running golf icons. Can you see the point of similarities?
I had the chance to browse the Internet on items like golf flags memorabilia and to my amazement this single piece of information gave me an in-depth appraisal of this broadening business opportunity. As a tournament comes to a close golf flags used during the tourney are sold to enthusiasts, these flags are then kept for safekeeping or displayed as memorabilia.
With the coming of the Internet queries are posted on the web about possible
golf flags covering specific tourneys and years, particularly if a known player won the said event. You can actually sell your flags online and depending on the antiquity and availability of the item, prices will naturally vary.
Just for kicks, a 2004 Masters flags auctioned online would fetch a price of over a hundred dollars, a lot of times over the acquisition price of a few pennies back then. More would be the asking price of the souvenir flag if it has an authentic signature of the winner of the tournament covering the particular year.
Most popular flags memorabilia now in demand are those signed by Phil Mickelson, Fred Couples to name a few, but not Tiger Woods because of his dominant winning ways he has become redundant.
