Original 1931 promotional swing photograph of Bobby Jones for a Vitaphone Short - How I Play Golf - The Trouble Shots. Crystal clear image of Bobby Jones demonstrating the stymie. The premise of this short was "Joe E. Brown bets Edward G. Robinson dinner that Brown can beat golf master Bobby Jones in a game. Brown hedges the bet by arranging for Jones to hit Brown's drives and Brown to hit Jones', with Jones to get himself out of any trouble spots that Brown's drives land him in. John then demonstrates the proper method for hitting the ball out of roughs, water, weeds, and trees." 8x10 photograph in very good condition, some chipping at corners.
