1934 First Annual Invitational Tournament Program - Reprint in Mint Condition - 1998
In 1998 the Augusta National had a one-time, in limited numbers, offering of a reproduction of the first year program for the Invitational which would grow to be known as the Masters. With originals selling for well over $10,000 this is an opportunity to have all of the content of the original offering at what is truly a fraction of the cost. Below is an excerpt from David Owen's book on Augusta and the Start of the Masters regarding the 1934 Program. The program was forty-four pages long and contained a map of the course, descriptions of the holes (written by MacKenzie), photographs of the clubhouse and other points of interest, historical information about the property, photographs of most of the members of the club, and several dozen advertisements. It sold for twenty-five cents. Over represented among the advertisers were the club's numerous creditors, who had been offered space in lieu of payment.
