Ben Hogan Signed Special

1953 Commemorative Edition Golf Bag


    This was a golf bag that we'd heard about, but had not located until recently. In the late 1980's, The Hogan Company manufactured a very few embroidered staff bags commemorating Ben Hogans historic 1953 season. Our consignor, who was in the golf industry and did a lot of work with the Hogan Company, was not content with one of these rare unsigned bags and called Hogan's office after he received the bag and asked that Mr. Hogan sign it. Sent and forgotten about, the bag was returned about eight months later with a big bold Hogan signature. The images and text on this impressive bag are not screened, but are all stitched. Tens of thousands of stitches to make up these great images commemorating his magical year of 1953 when Hogan captured all 3 majors he entered.
