The week that would change Masters Tournament history forever, crowning the newest king! In the collecting of A Masters badge run it is always a plus to acquire series tickets, which enabled the patron to attend all days of the event. In this case the practice rounds and tournament days which ran from March 30 to April 6, 1958. Arnold Palmer won by the slimmest of margins for his first major championship. The theatrical tournament's most controversial act came behind the 12th hole, with Arnie as the lead. Palmer felt that his ball was embedded, however was told to play it by a nearby rules official and carded a double bogey. He also played a second ball from the spot taking the relief he thought that he deserved, to put that one in for a par. Tournament officials would go back on their initial ruling several holes later and grant Arnie the relief ball, and par en-route to victory. The flip side of the coin with series tickets is that they often contain wear consistent to on-course use over several days and the placement and removal of the item for entrance on a daily basis to the Augusta National. This example is in good condition - a must for any Masters, golf ticket or Arnold Palmer collection.
