I've never played golf but some day, I would like to learn how to do it. I think is an expensive hobby because you have to spend a lot of free time to playing it.
About the auction I'd probably bid for the putter of Tom Morris because they won eight open Championships and may be give me good luck.
Thanks Claudia, good choice!
