Claude Harmon Champion 1948

Claude Harmon follows closely behind Craig Wood as the toughest Masters Champions autograph to obtain. The reason his autograph is difficult is because he was not a touring pro, he considered himself a teaching pro. He held the position as head pro at Winged Foot for several years. Since he did not play on tour as a normal player would people did not see him to ask him for his autograph. The reason why he even played in the 1948 Masters was because he was traveling from Florida's Seminole Golf Club where he worked in the winter to his to his summer job as Head Pro at Winged Foot in New York. Another interesting thing is that Craig Wood and Claude Harmon were very close friends. When Mr. Wood decided to leave his position as head pro at Winged Foot he hand picked Claude Harmon as his successor. Claude Harmon named one of his sons after him who is named Craig Wood Harmon who is now the head pro at Oak Hill another prestigious golf course in New York. Mr. Harmon fairly recently passed away in 1989.

A perfectly signed Post Card signed in 1960

I bought this autograph from someone who was personal friends with Mr. Harmon.   He (or Jim) was a golf pro with Claude's son Dick in Houston, TX.  I asked him if he has anything else signed by Harmon and he said he was a good friends and never even though to ask for his autograph.  At least he had this one.  He also said he talked with his hand a lot.?
