1937 U.S. Open

Contestant's Badge

         In this auction, we have the extreme privilege of offering the personal collection of the late Ed Dudley. In addition to being a 15 time winner on the PGA Tour, Dudley is probably best known for being the 1st Head Pro at Augusta National. Not only was he Head Pro at Augusta, Dudley also competed in every Masters Tournament from 1934 to 1950. Dudley was also the golf coach for Dwight Eisenhower, Bing Crosby and Bob Hope.

        Presented here is Ed Dudley's actual Contestant's Badge from the 1937 U.S. Open.

        Dudley finished 5th at the 1937 U.S. Open, his highest U.S. Open finish ever, which was won by Ralph Guldahl at Oakland Hills. This original 1937 U.S. Open Contestant's Pin is in exceptional condition.
