Fred Ridley's Christmas Letter

Here’s one I just learned: the leaders of golf’s Five Families exchange Christmas cards summing up their years. I only know because The Quadrilateral was accidentally sent Augusta National Chairman Fred Ridley’s 2021 edition via PDF.

Sources say a hard copy was mailed to Augusta National members and to several leading figures in the game. The card (see above cover photo) was tucked into a traditional holiday format, mailed in a green envelope with red print, and sent using a USPS limited edition Arnold Palmer stamp. A letter enclosed included several photos as well. While primarily directed to club members, some references seemed designed to remind other Families of yet another successful Masters.

Please enjoy the Chairman’s holiday sentiments retyped here to protect my sources and published exclusively to you, my Quadrilateraltrons…
