Bobby Jones Referees

1931 PGA Championship Wire Photo

 

     A piece of Bobby Jones trivia that most do not know is that the year after Jones retired from golf after winning the Grand Slam, the famous Amateur was the official referee for the final match of the 1931 PGA Championship. Here is the original photograph of Bobby Jones with the two finalists (the PGA Championship was a Match Play tournament until 1957) Denny Shute and Tom Creavy.
This original photograph measures 8x10" and is in excellent condition.
