John Derr's Personal Greenbrier Golf & Country Club Scorecard, Guest Ticket, & Matchbook
Here we have John Derr's personal Greenbrier Golf and Country Club scorecard, matchbook, and guest ticket. Starting in 1935, John Derr began reporting on the Masters Tournament for what would eventually be a total of 62 times! Derr was part of the CBS team (CBS Remembers John Derr) when the Masters was first televised in 1956, and he covered the Masters for CBS from 1956 to 1982. A recipient of Masters Achievement Award from Augusta National, this Pinehurst legend's reporting started on the veranda at Augusta with O.B. Keeler and Grantland Rice, and ended with inductions in four Halls of Fame as well as the National Journalism Award. He built a lifetime friendship with golf greats such as Bob Jones, Sam Snead, Ben Hogan and Byron Nelson.
