Where and how can I buy PGA or European Tour pin flags that are used in tournaments straight from the course?

Question

How/where can I buy pin flags that have been used in a tournament straight from a course after they have finished instead of buying them on ebay.

Thanks

Answer 1

you will find that the ones on ebay are not genuine and likely to be copys or bought from the souvenier shop

when i was a marshal at the 2006 open at hoylake the PGA put out the pin flags and also collected them very quickly

however that doesnt mean they are not for sale i think they end up at the club the tournament is played at i no in many cases the memrobilia is auctioned off usually for charity at the golf club

if i was you i would email the PGA ive had replys off them before they are quite nifty goodluck.
