Warren Orlick's wife Genevieve, while aboard the Pan Am flight to Muirfield, Scotland for the 1973 Ryder Cup, took this Currier & Ives print (the cover of a card or program) around and asked golfers, wives of golfers, and many officials aboard the plane, to sign it. Autographs around the margin, but also within the image (in the sky) include: Gay Brewer, Jack Burke, Arnold Palmer, Billy Casper, Juan "Chi-Chi" Rodriguez, and many more. Also included is an original black and white snapshot of the American Ryder Cup team, taken at the airport. The 1973 Ryder Cup marked the first time it had been played at a Scottish golf course. Provenance: From the Estate of former PGA President Warren Orlick.
