A shirt signed by Kiwi golfing pro and man of the moment Michael Campbell has gone under the hammer for $10,000 at a high-profile charity luncheon in Tauranga.
A glove signed by golfing legend Tiger Woods also sold for $10,500 at the luncheon which raised $104,000.
The framed glove, along with two golf balls, was one of 26 items auctioned at the 11th annual Tauranga CIB charity luncheon, which raised money for the Bay of Plenty Down Syndrome Association.
There were magnums of wine, kicking tees and more rugby memorabilia, all keenly sought after by the crowd of 654.
Detective Peter Blackwell, long-time organiser of the luncheon, said the public response was enormous and the money raised had exceeded expectations.
"We thought if we got $70,000 that would be a great total, but we were totally blown away with the final total." The auction pulled in $84,000, while the luncheon raised $20,000.
