1987 Masters Tournament Caddie Worn FootJoy Shoes w/Augusta National GC Bag Towel
Here we present a Master’s Towel and FootJoy Caddy shoes used by Bob Boring in 1987 while looping for Gay Brewer at The Masters. Neither piece has been used since the 1987 Masters. The shoes and towel were made by Footjoy specifically for the 1987 Masters and issued to the Caddy by Augusta National. These pieces originate from Bob Boring, Gay’s caddy, clubmaker and friend. The photograph shown to the left depicts Bob wearing these shoes when they were brand new at the tournament. Frank Christian took the photograph which is not included in this lot. A letter of authenticity signed by Bob Boring will accompany this lot.
The Bob Boring Collection
Professional caddy, world recognized clubmaker and friend of 1967 Masters Champion Gay Brewer, Robert 'Bob' Boring has been all around the game of golf. On the bag for legends such as Sam Snead, Bobby Nichols and Brewer, there was never a dull moment. Boring's stories include: betting Gay whether an alligator would eat a golf ball and saving Snead from a charging superfan. Oh, to be a fly on the...green? The Golf Auction is proud to present the collection of Bob Boring that showcases numerous personal items of Gay Brewer's including what was initially the "untouchable" - Brewer's winning 1967 Masters Tournament putter with an interesting story to come with it. Boring was once asked by Sports Illustrated about Brewer's thoughts on the tournament he once won. "Augusta National and the Masters are every bit as important to Gay as they are to Arnold Palmer," said (Gay Brewer's) friend and former caddie, Bob Boring. "Gay was defined by that '67 Masters."
