1977 Augusta National Memorandum
Regarding the Tragic Death of
Clifford Roberts
Offered here for the very first time is an original internal Augusta National
Golf Club Memorandum after the death of Augusta National founder and Chairman
Clifford Roberts. This internal memorandum was issued to Clifford Roberts'
Executive Secretary Kathryn Murphy by ANGC General Manager Phil Wahl. Murphy has
been described by the Augusta Chronicle as "Clifford Roberts' right hand woman",
so this must've been a particularly difficult time for her. Kathryn Murphy kept
this memorandum her entire life.
