This high quality “Golf Design” marker, featuring the famous Pinehurst logo, is for the 1999 US Open, won by Payne Stewart at the famous Pinehurst Resort’s No. 2 Course.
Stewart was one of the most popular players on the tour, in large part due to his extravagant clothing, and this was his 2nd US Open Title and the 3rd of his three Majors Titles – coming just months before his untimely death in a plane crash.
Pinehurst (est. 1895) is one of America’s oldest and best golf clubs and the famous No. 2 course, currently ranked #18 in the World’s top golf courses, has hosted a number of major Championships and in 2014 both the Men’s and Women’s Opens are due to be played here.
The marker is approx. 19mm (3/4″) stem type and these Golf Design markers are not easy to come by, especially for such a famous course.
Postage is only $2.50 to Australia, ($A3.30 to U.S. and UK). I will offer free postage on any additional markers in the next week. Please let me know by email if you are looking at more than one marker and I can hold the postage. Note this listing is in Australian Dollars – very attractive exchange rate for UK and US bidders!
Please email me if you have any queries.

Woods and Federer: A Friendship of Champions
March 3, 2009 by admin
Filed under Golf - Training Tips
When people daydream about becoming the best of the best, the top of their chosen field, few pause to consider the potential drawbacks that such elevation may bring. Yet, for those who are truly remarkable within their own discipline, being so vastly superior to all the other competition can be surprisingly difficult to comprehend. Being the best has its perks, but one must also concede that it can be worryingly lonely.
It is therefore little surprise that two champions, who have dominated their respective sports for much of recent memory, have forged a friendship based on understanding how lonely being the best can be.
In golf, Tiger Woods has been there and done it all. The king of the greens, he is so vastly superior to most other players on the golfing circuit that few bother to even imagine success against him.
In tennis, Roger Federer has very nearly – with the exception of the French Open, which proves elusive – been there and done it all. The king of grass, he plays with the grace of a ballet dancer and many opponents know they have lost before the first ball has even been served.
Woods and Federer have become close friends, these two giants of their own sports. The two were brought together by Nike, who saw the potential of these two living sporting legends and united them for an ad campaign. They have since starred, together with footballer Thierry Henry, in advertisements for razor brand Gillette alongside their Nike commitments. Before the 2007 Wimbledon final – in which Federer played his tennis arch-rival Rafael Nadal – Woods recorded a video message for Federer, via Nike, encouraging his friends to win his fifth title. Both men confess to a friendly rivalry as to who can win the most majors in their respective sports; currently, Woods holds the record at 14, with Federer on 13.
Their friendship has extended beyond the advertising suite. In 2006, Woods was photographed supporting Federer from Federer’s own players’ box as he bid for the US Open title. Both have also openly talked of their friendship in interviews and how it has helped them; citing that only each other, out of everyone on the planet, can really understand the position they are in.
