The Big Bag Trail, a unique collaboration between Callaway and St Andrews Links, has raised £126,000 for charity following the auction of the sculptures.
If you’ve been in St Andrews over the last month, you probably would have noticed the 10 larger than life sculptures dotted around the town that made up the Big Bag Trail.
While the bags were enjoyed by those attending the Open Championship, as well as residents of St Andrews, they were eventually put to auction for the benefit of CHAS (Children’s Hospices Across Scotland) and Scottish Sports Futures(Changing Lives Through Sport).
Following the conclusion of the Open, all 10 sculptures were taken from around the town, back to the St Andrews Links clubhouse. Here, they were auctioned off, with a total of £126,000 raised.
It was the design of 17-year-old Iona Turner that raised the largest sum, with the sculpture eventually selling for £30,000. That should come as no surprise, as it was her designthat the Callaway players sported on their bags throughout the week.
