Ben Hogan
Scarce 1958 Masters Tournament
Hogan and Nelson Bridge Dedication
& Driving Contest Ticket
This is a piece of Masters Tournament memorabilia that we've never seen before,
and, until now, didn't even know existed.
Offered here is an original ticket
for the ceremony dedicating the Hogan and Nelson bridges at Augusta National and
the "driving contest" that soon followed. This ticket provided "complimentary
access" to Augusta National Golf Club on April 2, 1958 for the Hogan and Nelson
bridge dedications.
Before this ticket surfaced, we had
no idea that this event occurred on the Wednesday before the 1958 Masters
Tournament.
It should be pointed out that Arnold
Palmer went on to win the 1958 Masters Tournament.
