“Golf is my real profession, show business pays my green fees” – Bob Hope
Property from the estate of the legendary Bob Hope to be sold in a live televised/online auction benefiting The Bob and Dolores Hope Charitable Foundation
No golf collection would be complete without an artifact from the personal collection of Mr. Hope. Highlights from Mr. Hope’s golf collection include: a complete set of golf clubs from various makers (woods 1 – 6, irons 3 – 9 and a brass head putter); his Dunlop Bogie Buster golf bag; a Tiffany and Company sterling silver golf club given to Mr. Hope for his 95th birthday by NBC; 24k gold plated golf tees; two Chrysler Classic ball markers bearing Mr. Hope’s image; a white, pink and blue striped golf shirt; Izod® cardigan sweater; a red sports jacket made by Arthur Cross; a light blue pair of dress pants with “Second Mile Golf Classic” embroidered on the back pocket and (…finally…) his Du Pont Corfam leather golf shoes.
Registering to Bid: Registration is required to bid in this live auction and can be done either in person at the Beverly Hilton in Beverly Hills, California, or by visiting www.juliensauctions.com before the sale or by calling (310) 816-1818
As some would say, there’s two hopes – Bob Hope and No Hope! (Especially as I now see the auction’s passed – like Mr Hope…)
