Golf thief gets prison time

CHICAGO — A former warehouse worker for the Augusta National Golf Club in Georgia was sentenced to one year in federal prison for transporting millions of dollars’ worth of stolen Masters tournament memorabilia and historic items, including an Arnold Palmer green jacket.

Richard Globensky of Georgia appeared in federal court Wednesday. He pleaded guilty last year. Federal prosecutors say the 40-year-old took items from the warehouse to another party in Florida for sale online.

They say the scheme lasted nearly a decade and Globensky made roughly $5 million from the sales.
