Par for the course: Rare golf trophy set to be sold for thousands as it goes under the hammer

-

Auction house staff Hamish Wilson and Amanda Dovesi at Bonhams in Edinburgh take a closer look at a replica Ryder Cup. The cup was presented to all living European Ryder Cup players by the Profession­al Golfers Associatio­n in 2001 to mark its centenary. This version, once owned by Sergio Garca, is estimated to sell for between £6,000 and £8,000 and will go on sale in the Bonhams Sporting Sale next week. However a similar trophy, presented to Scottish golfer Harry Bannerman in the same year, sold for more than £11,000 at a Bonhams auction in the capital back in November 2014.
