Fantastic 1930 Bobby Jones

U.S. Amateur Grand Slam Wire Photo

As you've no doubt seen by now, this Winter Golf Auction by Green Jacket Auctions represents one of the greatest sales of golf photographs in history. From Old Tom Morris & the origins of professional golf to Bobby Jones & the founding of Augusta National, many of the offered photographs are among the finest such examples in the hobby.

        Offered here is an extraordinary original photograph of Bobby Jones after winning the 1930 U.S. Amateur. In this photo, Jones can be seen beaming while holding the Havemeyer Trophy. And Jones had every right to beam, as with this victory Bobby Jones secured the Grand Slam - still the greatest achievement in golf history.

        This wonderful seldom seen image from Merion Cricket Club is in excellent condition and measures 6" x 8".
