O'Dell Trueblood's Personal 1964 PGA at Columbus CC Bag Tag - Overslept & Missed Tee Time
Best reporting the infamous incident was New York Times on July 18, 1964 trying to make sense of what just happened. "It doesn't pay to sleep if you're entered in the Professional Golfers' Association championship.
Odell Trueblood, 26 years old, of Lincoln, Ill., was scheduled to leave the first tee at 7:24 this morning but overslept. Joe Black, the tournament director, said Trueblood “was considerably late” in arriving at the Columbus Country Club and disqualified him." Here is Trueblood's personal bag tag that was on his bag until his bag used until disqualification. Trueblood's bag tag came from his estate, with his name on the verso and seen in the accompanying lot photos.
