Historical Items

Some of the Historical items I have picked up about Augusta National and various trophies.

An original letter from Robert Jones personal records from George Cobb about the buidling about the Par-3 course at Augusta National. Mr. Cobb worked with Mr. Jones on the design of the Par-3 Course. Notice on the lower left hand side of the letter is Bobby Jones handwriting telling the hole numbers. I think it is a very interesting and historical letter.

Another much longer letter from George Cobb to Bobby Jones about the building of the Par-3 course.

This is a quote from "The Masters" by Dawson Taylor, "Doug Ford came roaring out the of the pack on the last round with birdies on Nos. 12 and 14 and a particularly brave 245 yard wood over the pond at No. 15 to catch Snead."  This is the club that he used to make that shot that won him the Masters.  It is a very historic club.

This is a interesting letter from Clifford Roberts about the slow play of some groups at the 1957 Masters. It is interesting because it shows how much Mr. Roberts was s stickler for details. It my be hard to read.
