Byron Nelson Coaster

Description

Byron Nelson was one of the greatest golfers of all time and is widely considered the best player in the 1940s. Here are five fun facts about his personal life:

1. Nelson was born in Waxahachie, Texas and began playing golf at an early age after being taught by a local professional.
2. He won 52 tournaments throughout his career, including five major championships, two Masters titles and three PGA Championships.
3. In 1945 he won 11 consecutive events, setting a record that still stands today and earning him the nickname “Lord Byron” from his peers.
4. After retiring from competitive golf in 1946, he turned his attention to teaching, becoming a successful instructor and mentor to many of the game’s most beloved players.
5. Nelson was also known for his philanthropic works – he founded The First Tee Program with Jack Nicklaus to support youth development programs across America; and established The Byron Nelson Classic to benefit several charities every year.

Coasters are created with care and precision, featuring authentic cards that are hand-mounted onto high-quality ceramic tiles measuring just over 4×4 inches and .25 inches thick. The card that adorns your coaster is carefully chosen by Jake and Dean, although it may not always be the card pictured. The surface of the tile is then sealed with a bio-based resin for protection and finished off with a natural cork backing.
