1922 U.S. Amateur Press Badge

        In 1922, the United States Amateur was perhaps the most important golf tournament in the world. It was held at one of the most famous courses in the world, The Country Club at Brookline. The three most famous players in the field, Bobby Jones, Francis Ouimet and Chick Evans, fought for the title but were beat by Jess Sweetser. Presented here is an original Press Badge from the 1922 U.S. Amateur. This is the first time we have had the privilege of offering this spectacular badge.
