The British Golf Museum has started the summer season with an unusual new exhibition. The Majors Collection was donated to the Museum during the 2002 Dunhill Links Championship by Tico Torres, drummer with the rock band, Bon Jovi. And for the summer months, the Museum is opening its doors free on last Friday of each month, starting on 30th May and finishing on the 29th August.

The Collection is made up of 10 bronzes showing the grips of well-known golfers including Greg Norman, Arnold Palmer, Ernie Els, Seve Ballesteros and Nick Faldo.

Although most famous as musician, Tico is also an enthusiastic golfer and an accomplished artist in several fields including paintings, ceramics and glass work.

St. Andrews Caddy Manager, Rick MacKenzie, seen here comparing his grip to Jack Nicklaus, commented “ Jack describes his grip as being like “holding a bird in the hand” My copy of his grip perhaps would throttle the bird!”
