Roberto Devicenzo's Personal Used Dunlop Full Size Bag

Probably one of the most memorable and saddest Masters was the 1968 event, with the controversial ruling involving Mr. De Vincenzo's mistake of signing an incorrect scorecard. This unconscionable situation will be rehashed every year during the Masters in Augusta, Ga. For many years, Travelers Insurance Co. and the Cadillac Automobile Co. shared the spotlight for commercials being shown in limited spots. Our donor's husband was employed at Travelers and was fortunate enough to be a company representative for many years at this historical golfing festival. This gentleman, now deceased, and Mr. De Vicenzo were friends, both being from Argentina. After all the media and newspaper articles, things were getting better for Mr. De Vincenzo. He received many cards and letters from fans telling him they were praying for him and the misjustice! On another occasion, his friend at Travelers asked him to autograph a golf ball. Mr. De Vicenzo graciously did so but also included this special gift for his friend. This personally owned and used Dunlop Staff Golf Bag, along with the signed golf ball, was donated to the Babe Zaharias Foundation. A signed letter from the founder of the Zaharias Golf Foundation, Hal Shaw, will accompany this lot.
