1934 Masters Tournament Photo of
Bobby Jones with Calamity Jane
Offered here is a truly stunning original photograph of Bobby Jones at the 1934
Masters Tournament. When the inaugural Masters Tournament took place, Bobby
Jones had been retired from competitive golf for 4 years. Jones knew, however,
that the chances of the tournament's success was greatly improved if he played.
So he did.
There are a surprisingly few number
of photographs of Bobby Jones that exist from the Inaugural Masters Tournament,
and this may be the finest. The is almost certainly a staged photograph, where
the photographer makes Bobby Jones appear larger than life and he strokes a putt
with his trust Calamity Jane.
This original photograph measures 7"
x 9" and is in excellent condition.
