Significant Harry Vardon Letter On Personal Letterhead

        The history of golf is filled with great players and champions, but only a handful have ever reached true legendary status. That list arguably only includes the likes of Old and Young Tom Morris, Harry Vardon, Bobby Jones, Jack Nicklaus and Tiger Woods. Harry Vardon was part of the so-called Great Triumvirate, along with James Braid and J.H. Taylor, that launched golf into its first Golden Age at the turn of the Century. His many accomplishments include winning the Open Championship 6 times and winning the 1900 U.S. Open. In addition to his many tournament victories, Harry Vardon is probably most-known for popularizing what became known as the "Vardon grip" - the overlapping grip that most golfers use today.

        This handwritten letter was written by Harry Vardon on his impressive personal letterhead in 1916. This is the first time that we have seen this amazing letterhead, which pictures Vardon's 6 Open Championship Medals and U.S. Open Medal! All Hary Vardon autographs are difficult to obtain, since he passed away in 1937. But a letter of this quality can certainly be considered once-in-a-lifetime. This 2-page letter (front and back) was written to an American that had written Vardon, and contains golf content. Amazingly, this letter comes with its original envelope containing all the original markings from when it was original sent in 1916. This letter comes with a full letter of authenticity from PSA/DNA. It has also been authenticated by Green Jacket Auctions, and has been entered into our authenticity database.
