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 1946
Western Open Contestant's Badge. Dudley won the Western Open in 1931 - when it
was one of the biggest tournaments in the world. This is Dudley's actual
contestant's badge when the former winner participated in the 1946 Western Open.
