1927 Tommy Armour

Iconic Swing Pose 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.

        This is an original 1927 photograph of the legendary Tommy Armour demonstrating his iconic swing for the camera. This is an early image of Armour, as he had only been a professional for a short time when this photo was taken. At the time of this photo, Armour had just come off his first Major victory at the U.S. Open.

        The 8"x10" photograph looks great and condition is quite nice with note to some light pinholes. Reverse has a pencil identification and two stamps from NEA.
