Bobby Jones was asked how he would compare to Nicklaus and Palmer.
This is his simply yet direct reply in 1961. It is a timeless question and this is what he thought on comparing golfing
greats from one generation to another. Really interesting reply.
This is a quote from "The Masters" by Dawson Taylor, "Doug Ford came roaring out the of the pack on the last round with
birdies on Nos. 12 and 14 and a particularly brave 245 yard wood over the pond at No. 15 to catch Snead." This is the
club that he used to make that shot that won him the Masters. It is a very historic club.
I was able to purchase Doug Ford's 4 wood he used to win the 1957 Masters. Another interesting item. It comes with a letter
from Mr. Ford.

This is Billy Casper's 1967 Carling World Open Victory golf Medal.
In Mr. Caper's book "The big three and me" he talks about this victory. "Al Geiberger and tied for
the lead and it was a sudden death. I chipped within 3 feet of the hole, leaving me with a 3 foot putt for the victory.
First place was $35,000 and second place was $17,000. $35,000 was more money than I'd ever won in a golf tournament.
As I stood over the putt I started doing the math in my head and that 3 foot putt was worth $6,000 a foot! Suddenly,
my knees started knocking. I had to force myself to stop thinking about he money and focus on the fundamentals."
Well he made that putt and this is his victory medal.
