Rare Bobby Jones Exhibition Ticket

          Bobby Jones famously retired from competitive golf after winning the Grand Slam in 1930.  He then only played the Masters Tournament, and in a handful of other exhibitions.  Exhibitions were much more popular with professionals like Walter Hagen, as they could make a good amount of money for a day's work.  But being an amateur, Bobby Jones played in very few exhibitions.  Presented here is a rare ticket to one of those exhibitions.  This exhibition included the great Bobby Jones and Jimmy Thomson against Masters Champions Sam Snead and Craig Wood, and benefitted The British War Relief Society.
