1929 U.S. Open Program
(Bobby Jones Victory)
Offered here is a scarce original
program from Bobby Jones' victory at the 1929 U.S. Open. While Bobby Jones' 1930
victories often get all of the attention, original programs from Jones' "other"
Majors are often even more scarce. This is only the second time that we have had
the privilege of offering this extraordinary program from Winged Foot and the
1929 U.S. Open, which Jones won in a 36 hole playoff over Al Espinosa. In that
36 hole playoff, Bobby Jones beat Al Espinosa by 23 strokes - one of the
greatest performances of his illustrious career.
This rare program is listed in
Gilchrist's Guide to Golf Collectibles at $5000. The recent appreciation of
early golf programs and Bobby Jones memorabilia should push this program even
higher.
