Clifford Roberts Signed

1959 Masters Player Rules Document

        This is the original document that Clifford Roberts sent to players who were about to compete in the 1959 Masters Tournament. The document outlined rules for slow play and offered free meals to players during designated times. Roberts also emphasized that no extra balls be played during practice rounds - a strict rule that remains in place today. Another highlight of this original document is the following announcement: "The Club has a new practice facility, a Par 3 course, which we are happy to make available to our tournament player guests."

        This original 1959 Masters Tournament document was sent to Chuck Kocsis, who would end up finishing T22 at the 1959 Masters. The end of this 2-page document contains an excellent signature of Clifford Roberts.
