1930 Bobby Jones Perfect Swing Wire Photo

As you've no doubt seen by now, this Winter Golf Auction by Green Jacket Auctions represents one of the greatest sales of golf photographs in history. From Old Tom Morris & the origins of professional golf to Bobby Jones & the founding of Augusta National, many of the offered photographs are among the finest such examples in the hobby.

        Offered here is an original 1930 photograph of Bobby Jones displaying his perfect swing at the absolute pinnacle of his career. Dated on the back May 1930, Bobby was just about to start the greatest run in Golf History, winning all four Major Championships in one year. He demonstrates for the camera the flawless swing that would within a few months make him the most famous athlete in the world.

        Museum quality 8"x10" is crystal clear and so detailed you can see the spots where he forgot to iron his pants that morning! Condition is quite nice with a touch of wear to the corners being the only thing knocking it down to a 9.5/10. Easily one of the top Bobby Jones images in the hobby and a powerful and historic date on the back.
