Ed Dudley's

1949 Ryder Cup Scrapbook

      
        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 personal 1949 Ryder Cup Scrapbook. We've never seen this 1949 Ryder Cup scrapbook before, though it was almost certainly presented to the American 1949 Ryder Cup Team and officials. We're fairly certain that Ed Dudley was an official for the 1949 Ryder Cup, as he was President of PGA of America until 1948.
