1930 U.S. Open Program

        When Bobby Jones won the Grand Slam in 1930, he went from being famous to legendary overnight. Items from Bobby Jones' Major Championship victories were hard to find 80 years ago, let alone today. Perhaps the most sought after items from Jones' Grand Slam are the actual Programs from those tournaments. Only a handful of programs from the 1930 Grand Slam events still exist, and even fewer are ever offered for sale.

        This is one of those few remaining programs - an program from Bobby Jones' victory at the 1930 U.S. Open. Though it's always hard to even discuss condition with something this rare, this program displays quite beautifully and contains as much of its original color as any we've encountered. The only issues with this program are a loose and partially torn spine, which could be see a dramatic improvement with a simple restoration.
