6 Original 1925-1937 Golf Magazines

        Presented here are 6 great original golf magazines from 1925 to 1937. These magazines are spectacular, and contain amazing early golf content. The 1936 National Golf Review magazine contains an article on Horton Smith and a very early reference to "The Masters Tournament", even though it was still officially the Augusta National Invitational at that time (the name was officially changed to "The Masters' Tournament" in 1938). This magazine is early proof of the common use of the term "Masters Tournament" even before Bobby Jones relented to pressure to agree to the name change.  These great magazines were found with the remainder of famed golf course architect Perry Maxwell's collection that is being offered elsewhere in this auction.
