Ben Hogan
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.
