President Dwight Eisenhower's ANGC Range Balls and Tees

        What an incredible find! When we first learned of Eisenhower's golf bag and clubs, they were sitting in the garage of a family in Augusta, Georgia, where they had resided for years after being passed down in the family for decades. Unfortunately, we were told, the family wasn't all that keen on selling the clubs. Fast forward a few months and we finally have Eisenhower's clubs - and we got them just in time to feature them in our Masters Week auction!

        Presented in this lot are 2 vintage Augusta National Range Balls and a bag of tees that were found inside President Dwight Eisenhower's Golf Bag. The ANGC driving range balls are extraordinary, and may be the earliest examples we have ever seen! But didn't anyone tell Ike that you're not allowed to keep the range balls?!?
