Doug Ford Signed 8x10 B&W Photo
1955 PGA Champion Doug Ford is shown here with his Wanamaker Trophy, with his signature across it. The majority of golf fans are more familiar with his win two years later in the special week of April. In sports history there is nothing like calling your success in advance, and then producing. In the 1932 World Series Babe Ruth pointed to the stands, and then produced a home run. At a Thursday media gathering prior to the 1969 Super Bowl Joe Namath "guaranteed" that his heavy underdog New York Jets team would be victorious, he followed up leading the Jets to victory and earning game MVP honors in Super Bowl III. In the golfing world Doug Ford made a similar boast, predicting two weeks prior to the 1957 Masters that he would win with a score of 283. It took a Sunday charge, shooting a final round 66, capped by a birdie 3 at the 18th, where he holed out from the bunker. Oh yes, in winning Ford shot exactly 283. A select amount of embroidered undated Masters flags, such as the one you see here, were produced for Charles Coody to obtain signatures of fellow Masters Champions on. James Spence Authentication (JSA) has reviewed this signature and their auction letter of authenticity comes with this lot.
