Gorgeous Dwight Eisenhower

Augusta National Signed Photo

        In this auction, we have the extreme privilege of offering the personal collection of the late Ed Dudley. In addition to being a 15 time winner on the PGA Tour, Dudley is probably best known for being the 1st Head Pro at Augusta National. Not only was he Head Pro at Augusta, Dudley also competed in every Masters Tournament from 1934 to 1950. Dudley was also the golf coach for Dwight Eisenhower, Bing Crosby and Bob Hope.

        Offered here is a rare original autographed photograph of Dwight Eisenhower. This photograph reportedly depicts President Eisenhower at Augusta National, and contains a great inscription to Augusta's Head Pro Ed Dudley:

        "For Ed Dudley- Whose patience I have tried on the practice tee. From his friend-Dwight D. Eisenhower".

        Autograph golf-related photographs of President Eisenhower are exceptionally difficult to find, and this one is spectacular. The photograph itself is huge - 11"x14" - and Eisenhower's autograph is fantastic.
