Cliff Roberts Handwritten Letter

and Business Card

      Augusta National co-founder Clifford Roberts was famously a stickler for details. Offered here is a perfect example of Roberts' ways. This is a handwritten letter from Clifford Roberts from his house in the Bahamas to his Augusta National executive assistant Kathryn Murphy. In the letter, Roberts discusses the correct use of the term green fees vs greens fees, and attaches a golf digest article for Mrs. Murphy to pass along to ANGC General Manager Phil Wahl. This letter comes with its original mailing envelope to Augusta National Golf Club. Also included here is a note in response to Clifford Roberts from Kathryn Murphy, as well an an original business card of Clifford Roberts from his financial company.
