1930 Interlachen Country Club

Course View Wire Photos

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 are 3 large original 1930 photographs from Interlachen Country Club. These photos were taken in anticipation of the 1930 U.S. Open and Bobby Jones' quest for the Grand Slam. This photo study of the course depicts the 18th green approach, hole number 11 approach, and hole number 2. Bobby Jones, of course, would not disappoint, as he captured the title at the 1930 U.S. Open en route to the Grand Slam.

        Each of these 3 photos is in very good condition. Reverse of each has a full paper caption and stamps from NEA.
