Sam Snead's Personal Masters Leather Shaving Kit/Toiletry Bag
In 1946 the Augusta National started a tradition of presenting a gift to invited players at the Masters Tournament. In the long line of gifts one of the most favored by recipients and collectors alike is this 1971 Toilet Kit. It was so popular with the players that they presented it as the annual gift from the Augusta National to players participating in the Masters in 1958, 1961 and brought it back in 1971. This time with players intials. Even if this had been a no-name contestants gift, it sure would be collectible, point in case The Golf Auction has never had one of these to auction. This one is not from a no-name however, it is from the legend himself three time Masters Champion Sam Snead (please see S.S. monogram on side of Dopp kit). This example shows some use by the "Slammer" over the years, but not to the point that it would not be usable by our winning bidder on their next business trip.
