1964 US Open Silver Jigger Measuring Bar Tool Gift

When the name Ken Venturi is uttered in any golf setting, it evokes a few immediate memories: Incredibly smooth wwing tempo, longtime CBS Golf Analyst and the 1964 U.S. Open. The 1964 U.S. Open at Congressional Country Club provided some of the most iconic images and one of the most sentimental wins in U.S. Open history. Despite almost fainting due to heat exhaustion Venturi famously fired a front-nine 30 and was then nearly overcome by the 100-degree heat and humidity coming home to win. Here we have a great link to that memorable Open. This Silver Jigger Measuring Bar Tool was given out as gift at that 1964 U.S. Open.
