    Description

    Arnold Palmer Autographed 1961 Los Angeles Open Course Layout Booklet.  A great piece of golf history.  The Los Angeles Open was one of Palmer's favorite tournaments especially when it was played, as it was for many years, at a municipal course, Rancho Park.
    This scorecard is especially memorable as in this tournament Palmer in the opening round shot a 12 on the 18th hole.  There still stands at the 18th tee a commemorative plaque.  My Dad always said he was nervous when he asked Palmer for the autograph the next day but he said Palmer was very gracious & even made a joke something like "you sure you want this after yesterday?".  Here is the link to a good story on the 12.  https://golf.com/travel/courses/arnold-palmer-12-los-angeles-open-rancho-park/
    The booklet itself is in fair shape.  A few curls on the edges.  Biggest flaw are some pin holes where it was pinned to the wall through the years.
