1962 Bing Crosby letter on Crosby's personal letterhead addressed to golf legend Ben Hogan. The letter has some excellent golf (and fishing) content. In the letter, Crosby discusses Hogan's deteriorating golf game and Hogan's wish to discontinue pursuit of a possible TV Show featuring Hogan playing golf. Crosby also discusses Jimmy Demaret and the Masters Tournament, and Demaret and Jackie Burke's founding of Champions Golf Club in Houston. 

Included with this signed letter is an original 7" x 9" wire photograph of Ben Hogan and playing partner Bing Crosby together at the 1955 Bing Crosby Pro-Am.
