1922 Glenna Collett

Women's Amateur Champion 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 1922 photograph of one of the greatest women golfers of all-time - Glenna Collett (later Collett-Vare). In the pre-professional era before the U.S. Women's Open was formed, the U.S. Women's Amateur was the biggest ladies tournament in the world - and Collett won it an astonishing six times.

        This original photograph is from shortly after Miss Collett won her Amateur title at the 1922 U.S. Women's Amateur. The condition of this original 6 1/5" x 8 1/2" photograph is quite nice. Reverse has a full paper caption and stamps from International News and NEA.
