This is an original circa 1931 photograph of Bobby Jones by celebrated Hollywood photographer Bert Longworth. Bobby Jones famously retired after his Grand Slam in 1930. Now that his playing days were over, the amateur went to Hollywood to cash in on his fame by shooting the series "How I Play Golf" for Warner Bros.

This gorgeous swing photograph of Jones was taken during that 1931 trip to California. This photograph was personally consigned by Bobby Jones heir, who inherited this photograph from Bobby Jones' Estate after he passed away in 1971. 8" x 10". Excellent condition. PSA Type 1.
