The Ryder Cup
1939 U.S. Amateur Contestant Badge
Very early Major Championship contestant's badges are virtually impossible to
come by. In this auction, we are very fortunate to offer pieces of a stunning
collection of these great pieces of memorabilia - some of which have never been
offered for sale to the public.
This very badge was issued to one of
the 150 or so golfers that participated in the 1939 US Amateur, which was won by
two-time Amateur Champ Bud Ward at North Shore County Club. Since only about 150
of these badges existed 71 years ago, surely only a handful still remain. This
particular badge remains in amazing condition, and may be the finest such badge
in existence.
