Presented here is the scarce Audubon Society book that has a cult-like following among Bobby Jones collectors. It has been described by some as "the rarest Bobby Jones book." It was produced by the National Association of Audubon Societies and titled Golf Clubs as Bird Sanctuaries. As you'll see in the book, Bobby Jones, along with famed sportswriter Grantland Rice, was on the Audubon Society's "Golf Club Bird Sanctuary Committee" and each were attributed on the title page. 

This exceedingly rare book is undated but produced in the 1920s, and few are known to exist. The last copy we could find that sold publicly sold for over $2200 at rare book purveyor PBA Galleries in 2010. Good+ overall condition. Title page attribution to Bobby Jones and Grantland Rice, among others. Soft cover, 64 pages.
