My Golfing Album Signed by Henry Cotton

Only a handful of players in history have been able to tally a record at the prestigious Open Championship like English Tour Professional Henry Cotton.  During his career, he would finish in the top 10 an amazing 17 times, with three victories at the 1934, 1937, and 1948 Open Championships.  His record round of 65 during the 1934 Open Championship, led to the Dunlop Golf Company issuing the famous 'Dunlop 65' ball. 

In addition to his golf tournament exploits, Cotton managed to publish 10 books during his lifetime.  Here we have undoubtedly one of his finest, a 1959 First Edition of My Golfing Album, which has been signed by Henry Cotton.  The book displays in overall good condition with a fair dust jacket and comes with a bonus - three personal snapshot photographs of Cotton, each photo showing Cotton in various positions of his swing.
