The World Golf Hall of Fame will unveil six new exhibits Tuesday, Nov. 13 (US time) recognizing its 2007 Class of Inductees with Australian Kel Nagle honoured as one of the recipients.

Nagle was selected in the Veteran’s Category, determined by the World Golf Foundation Board of Directors Selection Committee and along with Joe Carr, Hubert Green, Charles Blair Macdonald, Se Ri Pak and Curtis Strange will be inducted into the World Golf Hall of Fame at its annual Induction Ceremony at World Golf Village in St. Augustine, Florida.

Each exhibit will feature pieces of personal memorabilia that represent the inductees’ historical influence on the sport, significant moments in their lives on the course as well as their personal interests. From the first copy of Macdonald’s "Scotland’s Gift Golf" off the press in 1928 to major championship trophies and medals representing professional and amateur victories around the world, the exhibits will offer hundreds of items on the 2007 Class.

"The impact of this year’s class spans decades and miles across the world," said Jack Peter, Senior Vice President and Chief Operating Officer of the Hall of Fame. "The Hall of Fame is delighted to begin sharing the stories of Carr, Green, Macdonald, Nagle, Pak and Strange with fans of this great game. We are grateful for the time the Inductees, their families and friends spent gathering the materials for their exhibitions and we believe the guests will be fascinated by what they see."

All six of Nagle’s Australian PGA Championship trophies will be on display in his exhibit, as will his 1964 Canadian Open trophy and several medals he won on his way to 61 worldwide victories. Five army medals will be featured, representing his service to Australia, and the Order of Australia medal he received in 1982. Nagle’s exhibit also will feature an extensive array of personal photos retrieved from his scrapbook, including those depicting his lifelong passion for horse racing.

The family of Carr and friends from Sutton Golf Club in Dublin have provided several of Carr’s Irish amateur trophies, his Walter Hagen award and his favorite putter. Also included will be several items representing Carr’s R&A Captaincy in 1991-1992, including the gold sovereign the Carr family bought back from the caddie after his official "Drive In." Other items in the exhibition will be his Walker Cup blazer and such personal effects as his trademark white hat with green bobble and photographs of him with Irish and international dignitaries.

Green’s exhibit will include his 1977 U.S. Open trophy and the irons and putter he used to win the 1985 PGA Championship. A wide variety of other tournament trophies, medals and clubs will be on display representing his additional 17 PGA TOUR and four Champions Tour victories, as well as several items of clothing and equipment from his three Ryder Cup appearances. Showcasing the distinctions Green has received over the years, including two Champions Tour Comeback Player of the Year awards, the exhibit also displays such personal items as his first pair of baby shoes and the first trophy he won for golf at age eight.

On loan from the National Golf Links of America will be the medal Macdonald won in 1895 at the inaugural U.S. Amateur Championship, as well as a third- and two fourth-place medals he won at the same tournament in subsequent years. Also on display will be the first copy of Macdonald’s book, "Scotland’s Gift Golf," an edition he personally owned and autographed. And finally, early documentation noting the formation of the United States Golf Association is included, dated Dec. 22, 1894.

Pak’s exhibit will include items representing her home country, South Korea, including [insert fancy name of umbrellas here] and a trophy she won while playing a KLPGA tournament in 1995. Representing her enormously successful run on the LPGA Tour since turning pro in 1998 will be two of her five major championship trophies: the 2006 McDonald’s LPGA Championship and 2001 Weetabix Women’s British Open. The 2004 Michelob ULTRA Open at Kingsmill trophy also will be on display, which marks the tournament that earned her enough points to qualify for Hall of Fame Induction.

The head of a Bullseye Putter Strange used through most of his amateur career will be put on view, representing an item the nostalgic Strange couldn’t part with after years of wear and tear. Numerous items from his impressive amateur career will be on display, including his 1976 North and South Championship trophy and the Low Amateur Masters Tournament gold medallion he won the same year. The irons and ball Strange used to win the 1988 U.S. Open will be featured, as will many trophies, medals and awards he won throughout his PGA TOUR career that included five Ryder Cup appearances and one turn as U.S. Captain. Awards presented in the exhibit will include his three Arnold Palmer PGA TOUR Leading Money Winner awards.

In addition to the exhibits representing the 2007 Class of Inductees on display in Shell Hall, items will be placed in the new class’ lockers in the Hall of Fame’s Member Locker Room Exhibit.
