Pack of Chesterfields Anyone?

I love these vintage golf ads and hope to display more of them here.

I especially like the headline: "Stay Out Of The Rough - Smoke Chesterfields Like I Do!"

I guess they are saying if you smoke Chesterfields you can magically stay out of the rough.

Actually Chesterfields are still being made today.

Too bad, if only I smoked.

Great vintage ad. I've been reading up on Hogan in a couple of biographies (authors Sampson and Dodson) and they often mention The Hawk lighting up during the round.

I agree Acemakr. And it is surprising (to me anyway) just how odd it looks to see an athlete with a butt in his/her mouth.

I Wonder if Tiger would look as sophisticated as Hogan ;-)
