Scarce Panoramic Photo

Bobby Jones Tees Off

at 1925 U.S. Amateur

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 1925 photograph of the greatest swing in golf history. In this photograph, Bobby Jones tees off at the 1925 U.S. Amateur, a tournament he would go on to win. Simply a breathtaking view of the young Jones just hitting his stride in the mid-20's. Dated on the back by NEA as September 16, 1925 and Jones is identified with a period notation.

        Panoramic style photograph is in superb condition and looks amazing. Photograph measures 6 1/2" x 10".
