Tiger Woods, Jack Nicklaus & others Signed Masters Yellow Litter Hat
Champions Tiger Woods, Jack Nicklaus, Phil Mickelson, Gary Player & five others added their name in black sharpie to this Masters Yellow Litter Caddy Hat with green script lettering of "Litter" in appreciation. Clifford Roberts had this to say about the litter project in his book THE STORY OF THE AUGUSTA NATIONAL GOLF CLUB, "When the Masters first began, a pickup crew was equipped with sharp steel-tipped sticks and told to stab and retrieve all pieces of litter immediately after they hit the ground. One of the golf writers cautioned his readers to never to drop paper cups where they stood, as they might get stabbed in the foot. Later we dressed all the clean-up crew in natty uniforms. I do not know if they ever stabbed any feet, but they did acquire a sense of pride in their uniforms and in keeping the course clean." The signed litter hat is a thing of the past as in 2009 the litter hats were changed to black in color virtually eliminating signed hats, this being the finest we have offered. Masters champs Tiger Woods, Jack Nicklaus, Gary Player, Phil Mickelson, Mark O' Meara, Vijay Singh, Larry Mize, Mike Weir, and Phil Mickelson, among others. Wear consistent of usage on the course is apparent, which just means that this original owner was doing a good job. James Spence Authentication (JSA) has reviewed this signature and their auction letter of authenticity comes with this lot.
