1929 U.S. Open Program

Bobby Jones Wins!

       Offered here is a scarce original program from Bobby Jones' victory at the 1929 U.S. Open. While Bobby Jones' 1930 victories often get all of the attention, original programs from Jones' "other" Majors are often ever more scarce. This is the very first time that we have had the privilege of offering this extraordinary program from Winged Foot and the 1929 U.S. Open, which Jones won in a 36 hole playoff over Al Espinosa. In that 36 hole playoff, Bobby Jones beat Al Espinosa by 23 strokes - one of the greatest performances of his illustrious career.

        This rare program is listed Gilchrist Guide at $5000. The recent appreciation of early golf programs, plus the exceptional condition of the offered examples, should push this program much higher.
