A Short Love Story-
The People of St Andrews Scotland
and Robert T. (Bobby) Jones Jr.

It is not often that such an important artifact relating to the life and accomplishments of the immortal Bobby Jones comes to auction. In 1958, Jones received perhaps his greatest honor when the people of St. Andrew's, Scotland awarded him the Freedom of the City and the Royal Burgh of St. Andrews award, in what has been called the most moving ceremony in the history of golf.

Here is a rare program from that historic ceremony at St. Andrews on October 9, 1958. Book and program collectors have long searched for this gem, which would make a valued addition to any collection.
