Retail value of lot: €700

This bag celebrates the sesquicentennial (150th) playing of golf's oldest major. As the championship returns to the home of golf, we justly honor the grand old family: Old Tom and Young Tom Morris. The father and son duo were born in St. Andrews and accounted for 43 British Open appearances while tallying eight wins. Their initials can be found on the bag handle, while the side panel features a tweed fabric inspired by their traditional garb.

The phrase "To let it rest" sits on the crown of the bag as a reminder of the course's longstanding tradition of being closed on Sundays. A clock centered on the ball pouch is set to 1:50 and pays homage to the sesquicentennial contest. Four flowers adorn a second "150" on the valuables pouch and represent each country in the United Kingdom.

"R" and "G" on the side panel are a nod to the March Stones that form the course's boundary. Some of these stones have been in place for almost a millennium. A visible "R" signals farmland while the "G" is for golf, and, historically, they separated grazing areas from golfing spaces.

The Cause

The Giacomo Ponzone Foundation (FGP) was set up in the memory of Giacomo Ponzone, whose life was suddenly cut short at the age of 25 due to Arrhythmogenic Cardiomyopathy, a genetic disease that is difficult to diagonose and causes sudden death in apparently healthy young people.

The Giacomo Ponzone Foundation has two important objectives. The first concerns the research and study of Arrhythmogenic Cardiomyopathy of the left ventricle, a rare cardiac pathology. The second aim is to support deserving students enrolled at the Catholic University of the Sacred Heart of Milan, in particular the Faculty of Economics and Business Management from which Giacomo graduated, to give an opportunity to students who would otherwise not have had the chance to study.
The Giacomo Ponzone Foundation has joined forces with the Monzino Cardiology Center to support study projects concerning the little known Arrhythmogenic Cardiomyopathy for which currently little can be done in terms of prevention.

This pathology is characterized by two main clinical signs: the appearance of malignant arrhythmias and the progressive replacement of healthy heart tissue with adipose tissue. Among the factors that can cause arrhythmogenic cardiomyopathy is the dysregulation of the normal calcium content in heart cells. The objectives of the first FGP project with the Monzino Cardiology Center are to:
1. understand the new calcium-dependent molecular mechanisms responsible for the disease;
2. use molecules already approved by the FDA to fight it.
