1953 US Open at Oakmont Country Club Periscope - Ben Hogan Winner
One of the top 3 seasons by any one golfer was 1953 when Ben Hogan captured all 3 majors he entered that year. He won the Masters and on to Oakmont he went capturing the 1953 U.S. Open over a game Sam Snead. This Periscope is from the 1953 U.S. Open and it’s appropriately dated in flowing script with Oakmont & 1953 emblazoned on it. This scope was on the grounds to help its owner watch golf history. It’s is in excellent condition with minor paper loss and slight tearing near the top. There is also a tasteful inscription identifying the winner and runner-up in ink pen. A super tough piece - good luck trying to find another one.
