1929 U.S. Open Program

(Bobby Jones Victory)

        Offered here is a scarce original program from Bobby Jones' victory at the 1929 U.S. Open. While Bobby Jones' 1930 victories often get all of the attention, original programs from Jones' "other" Majors are often even more scarce. This is only the second time that we have had the privilege of offering this extraordinary program from Winged Foot and the 1929 U.S. Open, which Jones won in a 36 hole playoff over Al Espinosa. In that 36 hole playoff, Bobby Jones beat Al Espinosa by 23 strokes - one of the greatest performances of his illustrious career.

        This rare program is listed in Gilchrist's Guide to Golf Collectibles at $5000. The recent appreciation of early golf programs and Bobby Jones memorabilia should push this program even higher.
