Doug Sanders' Personal Bulls Eye Titleist Putter - Used In Masters


Babe Zaharias Foundation Founder Hal Shaw was the protégé, employee, caddy and most importantly friend of Babe and her husband George's working at the her Tampa golf course. Rubbing shoulders with stars of the day, many in the inner circle of Babe herself, Hal would end up being the University of Florida college roommate of PGA Tour star Doug Sanders and remained friends for over 50 years. Shaw recounts, "Being a golf professional myself, it was fairly easy to attend many of his tournaments, especially 'The Masters.' This became a ritual of catching up on each other's life on and odd the tournament tour stops. We both were big on collecting golf memorabilia. Doug was a big fan of Babe and wanted one of her personal putters. My choice came down to the Bulls Eye he had played during The Masters Tournament in the mid-late 1960's (in this offering) of the one he used to beat Jack Nicklaus in a playoff at the 1965 Pensacola Invitational. Hal chose the former and here is Sanders' personal used putter that he played with in The Masters Tournament, a Bulls Eye Titleist. The final photo in this lot is Sanders and Shaw with a famous Augustan, The Godfather, Jim Brown. A signed letter from the founder of the Zaharias Golf Foundation, Hal Shaw, will accompany this lot. 34"
