1991 Masters Par 3 Tournament Nearest the Flag Glass Pitcher - Hole #9 - George Archer
In 1958, the Par-3 Course was designed at the Augusta National by architect George Cobb and Clifford Roberts. The day before the Masters starts, the Par 3 contest (a tradition begun in 1960) is held on that course. The winner receives a crystal bowl, and those closest to the pin on each hole get prizes. “Only trophies and souvenirs are offered as prizes, but the competition is keen and the contest attracts large numbers of patrons,” Augusta National Co-founder Clifford Roberts wrote of the Par-3 Contest in his book, The Story of the Augusta National Golf Club. “It is, in fact, much more popular than the clinics, driving and iron play contests, and trick-shot entertainment staged on Wednesdays prior to the existence of our par-three course.” Roberts would no doubt be pleased with how the Par-3 Contest has grown. It is now televised live, and the demand for tickets is nearly as great as for a tournament day. In excellent condition, offering an attractive display item of utmost quality to any collection. 6" tall to the top of the handle, with a width from the spout to the handle of 7 1/4". 1969 Masters Champion George Archer was the nearest the flagstick on the 9th and final hole in 1991.
