Sept. 13 Report: Left-handed PGA Tour winner Steve Flesch

Yes it has been yonks since I've been able to post anything in this space. A few changes recently have kept me from being able to send out requests like I had earlier in the year. Hopefully everything smooths out in the coming days/weeks and I can return to making regular requests.

So today's report is a success that comes from a mailing I did nearly three months ago. It it is worth the wait as Steve Flesch came through in big way. I had sent the left-hander a golf glove to sign and add to my left-handed PGA Tour winners project.

Not only did he sign and return that glove, but he also included an added bonus. Inside the envelope was a second glove -- this one his own (Srixon) which was obviously used by him. He also signed that one!!

Flesch is one of four Southpaws to ever win multiple times on Tour. He's won the 2003 HP Classic of New Orleans, 2004 Bank of America Colonial, 2007 Reno-Tahoe Open and 2007 Turning Stone Resort Championship.

This is the first time I have received a piece of used equipment for this project, so needless to say I am obviously very happy. Well worth the wait!!!!

June 1 Report: Hall of Fame Golfer Juli Inkster, Solheim Cup Star Meg Mallon and Left-Handed PGA Tour Winner Sam Adams

Today's postal deliveries included three more golf additions to my collection.

Two of them help round out my U.S. Solheim Cup collection and the third is the first addition to a very new subset for me.

As I like to do, we're starting with the Hall of Famer, Juli Inkster.

Inkster signed my customary Solheim Cup trophy photo. She has won 31 times on the LPGA Tour to date, including seven major championships. She has played on eight Solheinm Cup teams and has won 18 points for the red, White and Blue. No other American has won more points for her team.

Inkster was inducted into the Golf Hall of Fame in 2000.

Meg Mallon is another LPGA star who should one day also find herself in the Hall of Fame. To date she has won 18 LPGA Tour titles including four major championships.

She is an eight-time participant in the Solheim Cup.

On an obscure note, Mallon was also the marker for Annika Sorenstam when she shot an LPGA-record 59 several years back.

Lastly today is the autograph of Sam Adams. This has nothing to do with beer, so don't get too excited. Sam Adams is actually my first success from my quest to get a golf glove (for the right hand) signed by every left-handed player who has won on the PGA Tour.

Adams was the first American to win on Tour when he claimed the 1973 Quad Cities Open. For the record Bob Charles, a New Zealander, was the first lefty to win on Tour.

Adams was kind enough to sign the golf glove and also include a nice note on his personal notecard thanking me for remembering him. A nice touch and a great way to kick off this subset.
