Ed Dudley's

PGA Vice President'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 PGA Vice President's Badge. This circa 1940 badge was presented to Dudley when he was Vice President of the PGA of America. He succeeded to President of the PGA of America in 1942. It goes without saying that few, if any, actual PGA Vice President badges have ever become available for sale.
