1924 Johnny Farrell

U.S. Open 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 a rare original 1924 photograph of Johnny Farrell. This photograph was taken 4 years before Farrell won the 1928 U.S. Open over Bobby Jones, who finished 2nd.

        This 6 1/2" x 8 1/2" photo is nice with a few light pinholes. Reverse has a full paper caption and stamps from United Newspictures and NEA.
