Augusta National Golf Club

Commemorative Loblolly Pine Stump

        Presented here is a piece of Augusta National memorabilia that we've never seen before. This is a piece of an actual Loblolly Pine Tree from Augusta National's 10th Hole. Apparently, after a storm fell the tree in 1990, Augusta National turned pieces of the tree into these impressive paperweights, which were gifts at "Washington's Birthday Party" in 1992. We actually don't know the exact reason for Augusta National celebrating George Washington's Birthday with a 4 day party, but this is a special keepsake from that event.

        This original Augusta National loblolly pine tree piece would look good on any golf collector's desk. It measures 4 3/4" in diameter, and is 7/8" thick, and makes a better paperweight than anything else we can think of!
