Augusta National Used Flag

      Presented here is the most sought-after course-used golf flag in the world.  Augusta National has never sold a replica flag in its pro shop.  Therefore, the only way to get an authentic Augusta National flag is to get one that was actually used on the course.  Like all items that come from Augusta National, this is easier said than done.  While your local golf course might oblige if you ask them nicely for a spare flag or offer to pay for its replacement, clearly this doesn't exactly work at Augusta National.  Members themselves are often turned away when inquiring about getting a used flag for a guest.  To make matters even worse, Augusta has been known to destroy the used flags at the end of the season.  In addition to using these flags during routine member play at Augusta National, people who have attended the Masters Tournament will recognize this flag as the one used on the flagsticks during the practice rounds and from the Par 3 course.

    There have been a few fake Augusta National flags showing up the last couple years, but we are proud to have the opportunity to auction an original and authentic Augusta National flag, which comes with a Letter of Authenticity from Ryan Carey/Tourflags.com.
