Down The Fairway
by Robert T. Jones Jr. and O.B. Keeler

Offered here is a rare 1927 First Edition (3rd Printing) of Bobby Jones' famous book, Down the Fairway.  This First Edition … printed at a time when Bobby Jones had already ascended to a position as one of the most recognizable sports figures in the world … was amazingly still three years prior to Jones accomplishing his historic Grand Slam, and is undeniably one of the most famous golf autobiographies ever produced. 

The book was written by Jones, in collaboration with O.B.Keeler, who was Bobby’s right-hand man on the tournament circuit.  This book is listed in Gilchrist's Guide to Golf Collectibles at $1,725 and is in overall good condition with a slight cover split and a tight spine and binding.
