Original press photographs of the legendary Bobby Jones are becoming increasingly rare. Produced in surprisingly low numbers off an original negative, they would have been distributed to newspapers within days of the image being taken. These two photos date from the 1920s and show Jones in action at the 1928 U.S. Open and possibly the 1927 U.S. Amateur Championship. The 1927 photograph measures 6x8" and depicts Bobby Jones driving the ball. The 1928 U.S. Open photograph measures 5 1/4 x 8" and depicts Bobby Jones after blasting out of the sand trap.
