Offered here is one of the finest internal Augusta National Golf Club documents ever to surface on the collector market. It is well-known that very few dual-signed Bobby Jones and Clifford Roberts documents exist.

This example is almost certainly the finest dual-signed Bobby Jones and Clifford Roberts document on the collector marker. This is an original 1960 Executive Board Resolution that was called to order by President Dwight D. Eisenhower while sitting President of the United States of America. And even though Bobby Jones and Clifford Roberts made a point of not unnecessarily signing the same documents, the rules are apparently different when it comes to the sitting President of the United States. President Eisenhower called this motion to order with Augusta National's Executive Committee on December 10, 1960; on December 30, this Resolution was passed with this document, which has been beautifully autographed by Bobby Jones in a full Robert T. Jones, Jr. signature, as well as Clifford Roberts and Charlie Yates.

This original piece of Augusta National (and Presidential) history has been beautifully framed to 16" x 32.5".
