Offered here is one of the most iconic golf magazine covers of all-time - young Bobby Jones on the cover of TIME Magazine in 1925. TIME Magazine was founded in 1923, with this issue coming only 2 years later when the circulation was still very small. Jones was chosen for this cover after winning the U.S. Amateur for the 2nd straight year (only his 3rd of an eventual 13 Major Championships). This is the complete TIME Magazine from August 31, 1925. This magazine is seldom found, and this example is in excellent condition. These magazines have sold for upwards of $1,500 in fine condition. There is a center crease to the program this barely noticeable.
