Ben Hogan Autographed 1-Iron at Merion |
|
|
On June 10, 1950, only 16 months after a near fatal car accident, Ben Hogan was competing in the U.S. Open. At that time, 18 holes were played on Thursday and Friday with 36 grueling holes on Saturday. This was the 36th hole, and every step brought pain. He needed par to force a playoff with Lloyd Mangrum and George Fazio. Hogan hit his blind tee shot over the lip of a dangerous quarry, leaving 220 yards to the small, well-protected green. The Hawk pulled out his trusted 1 iron. As he eyed his shot, a pugnacious Life Magazine photographer, Hy Peskin, captured the shot of both of their lives. The ball landed safely on the green, and Hogan two putted to force a three-way playoff the next day. His 69 bested Mangrum’s 73 and Fazio’s 75 to complete one of the most incredible comeback’s of all time.
This moment in golf history is presented with an original signed check from Mr. Hogan's personal bank account in Fort Worth, Texas. Only a limited number of these one-of-kind pieces will be created and due to their unique nature, no two checks will be the same. Dont' delay-order yours today! |

The modern gentleman notices the little things, and there is plenty to notice about our Signature Gift Wrap. The paper is a custom-printed navy beaded pinstripe pattern evocative of a classic men's suit fabric. The white satin ribbon is tied in a square knot. But we think it's the enclosure card sealed with hot wax that shows we put as much care into the gift presentation as you put into its selection.
