Letter From Eisenhower's Secretary

to Augusta National Pro Ed Dudley

       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.

        This is an original letter from President Dwight Eisenhower's secretary to Augusta National Head Pro Ed Dudley. The President's Secretary enclosed a list those who attended a Stag Dinner at the White House the previous evening, which included Dudley, President Eisenhower, Douglas MacArthur, and CIA Director Allen Dulles. A wonderful cozy dinner at The White House for 15.
