1948 Masters Gift Ash Tray

To Bowman Milligan

         Brass ash try of hole number 13 "Azalea" from the 1948 Masters Tournament. These ash trays were famously a player gift at the 1948 Masters Tournament. This ash tray, however, was given to Bowman Milligan. Bowman was ANGC's Steward and the very first person hired by Augusta National Golf Club. Bowman was a personal favorite of Cliff Roberts (and Roberts spoke very fondly of him in his book), which likely resulted in him receiving such a gift.

        Included with this lot are two original photographs of Bowman.
