1923 President Warren G. Harding

Playing Golf 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.

        It is common for us today to see images of our Commander in Chief engaged in leisure activities, but this side of the lives of our Presidents was rarely seen 90 years ago. President Warren Harding is seen in this original 1923 photograph enjoying a game of golf, dressed for the occasion, and driving the ball off the tee. Large 8"x10" image is in fine condition with some light wear to the corners being the only flaw. Paper caption and stamps on the back from NEA and National Photo.
