Hootie Johnson, Billy Payne, & Jim Nantz Signed Masters Spectator Guides

This lot contains two masters spectator guides signed by Jim Nantz (2014) and Billy Payne (2005). The Masters ticket is signed by Hootie Johnson. Both Payne and Johnson Augusta National Chairmen that oversaw the first women members of Augusta National. Hootie Johnson was very vocal about not wanting women to be able to be members. He argued that "Our membership is single gender just as many other organizations and clubs all across America. These would include junior Leagues, sororities, fraternities, Boy Scouts, Girl Scouts, and countless others. And we all have a moral and legal right to organize our clubs the way we wish". He was replaced in 2006 by Payne who finished overseeing the integration. Jim Nantz is an American sportscaster. He covers the NFL, NCAA D1 men's basketball, and the PGA Tour for CBS Sports since the 1980s. He has anchored CBS' coverage of the Masters Tournament since 1989. Aside from his professional accomplishments, he has replica of the 7^th Hole at Pebble Beach in his back yard (without the wild ocean and the wind) and his own vintage wine label.
