Services
Sean Arnold was introduced to collecting sporting memorabilia when his uncle in Ireland passed onto him his own extensive collection. Sean was then a resident of County Kerry, close to the world famous golf course at Ballybunion. He established "The Olde Irish Golf Shop", buying and selling items in conjunction with many exhibitions in Europe where the collecting of golf artefacts was prolific.
Even at that advanced age he continued to believe that painting golf pictures, writing golfing books and cartooning were the most satisfying things on offer. Born in Perth, Scotland, in 1905 he started the game at an early age. At ten he was taken to the Craigie course where the great Joe Anderson reigned supreme.
