Ben Hogan received this gift from the Masters Tournament in 1965. It must have been a tradition for the tournament host to give various gifts each year. This one looks like a tope measure, a pair of pliers, and a little hatchet. I wonder if Mr. Hogan ever used them around the house. This was part of a display by the his family at Shady Oaks Country Club, site of the Ben Hogan Invitational, a yearly even held in September each year and benefitting the Ben Hogan Foundation and the Henry House Charities. Look them up, they deserve support for the wonderful things they are doing in Fort Worth.
I took the picture and you can see some of my shadow on the glass case. It was a great day for the tournament at Shady. Colonial Country Club is also close by and the clubhouse has a terrific new exhibit about Mr. Hogan.
