We are truly overwhelmed to have the opportunity to offer this scarce piece of memorabilia. Offered here is an actual contestant's badge from the 1930 US Amateur at Merion Cricket Club - the site of the final piece of Bobby Jones' Grand Slam. This badge was issued to a golfer who competed against Bobby Jones as he completed the Grand Slam. We've sold a couple dozen contestant's bagdes from Bobby Jones' Major Championship victories, but this is the very first time that we've ever located the most important of them all - the 1930 US Amateur Contestant's Badge from Merion Cricket Club (now called Merion Golf Club).
