Ed Dudley's
1940 U.S. Open Contestants Badge
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.
Presented here is Ed Dudley's actual
1940 U.S. Open contestant's badge, from when Dudley finished tied for 10th at
Canterbury Golf Club in Ohio. Amazingly, this 74 year old contestant's badge is
in near mint condition.
