Historic Bobby Jones Bust

        Famed sculptor David Jones was commissioned to produce a bust of the aging Bobby Jones in 1967. He used the likeness of an young, fit Bobby Jones for his impressive work. In all, 8 identical Bobby Jones busts were produced, one of which was presented to Bobby Jones, who would die only 4 years later in 1971. That bust presented to Jones currently resides in the famed Trophy Room at Augusta National Golf Club. To demonstrate how Augusta National itself values this Bronze Bobby Jones bust, it is featured in the Trophy Room alongside 11 of Jones' golf clubs used to win the Grand Slam, Jones' Calamity Jane that he used until 1924, and Gene Sarazen's 4-wood and ball used to make his famous Double Eagle in 1935. This bust presented here is one of the other 7 in existence and is numbered 5. The quality of this Bobby Jones bronze bust cannot be understated. It measures over 18" tall and weighs an incredible 40 pounds. This is certainly one of the finest pieces of golf "artwork" ever offered.
