Historical Items

Some of the Historical items I have picked up about Augusta National

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.

An invoice from 1875 for several trees from the Fruitland Nurseries signed by P. J. Berckmans. Before Augusta National was a golf course it was a Nursery

This is a Rare 1972 Masters Players Pin used by Mr. Bert Greene. These are very rare as there is only about 100 made each year and very few of them find there way into collectors hands. It is also a great year as Jack Nicklaus won his 4th Green Jacket this year. There are 20,000-30,000 Badges made each year? vs 100 or so player pins.

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.

I was able to purchase Doug Ford's 4 wood he used to win the 1957 Masters. Another interesting item. It comes with a letter from Mr. Ford.

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.
