Here is the latest piece in my Walter Hagen 1929 Ryder Cup/ 1929 Open Championship collection. This is an original portrait of Walter Hagen, his caddy and the golf bag which is in my collection. This portrait was painted by Betty Plymale of Lexington, KY.

This was Hagen's 4th Open title and the last major of his career. This portrait is of Hagen's tee shot on the 72nd hole at Muirfield.

Unfortunately, this photo does not do Betty's talent justice. It really is stunning in person. Once the collection is a little bit more complete I will share it with you in its entirety. It includes: Hagen's 1929 Ryder Cup and Open Championship Golf Bag, 6 irons that Hagen used during those events, 1 wood that Hagen used in those events, many photos which show the bag, Hagen and his caddy, a couple of signed and inscribed photographs, and a 1929 New York Daily News paper covering Hagen's victory.

I also am in the process of purchasing a print of Hagen putting for the 29 Open Championship, and hopefully a signed 1929 Ryder Cup menu, which was signed by both the UK and the US Teams.

I have offered this entire collection to the PGA of America so that they could take it to Wales as a display for the 2010 Ryder Cup.
