Significant Autographed Copy of

The Story of Augusta National Golf Club w/ 30+ Signatures

           The Story of Augusta National Golf Club by Clifford Roberts is certainly the most famous book ever written about the world's most famous golf club; and offered here is quite possibly the most significant copy of that famous book - an original 1st edition that has been signed by the author Clifford Roberts and virtually every Masters Champion that was alive to sign this book when the autographs were obtained from the late 1970s to mid 1980s. The book is autographed by Clifford Roberts, and contains an exceedingly rare autograph of 1948 Masters Champion Claude Harmon, as well as autographs of Henry Picard (1938), Jimmy Demaret (1940, 1947 & 1950), and 3 different autographs of Ralph Guldahl!
