1944 Philadelphia Inquirer First Annual Invitation Golf Tournament Program - Bobby Jones Cover


"Lieutenant Colonel Robert T. Jones Jr., U.S. Army Air Force," captions the photo of Bobby Jones in uniform stepping out of a jeep on this WWII time-period program. A more familiar representation of the all-time great is found just to the left - a follow-through depiction of Jones. Unique and scarce program for a war charity tournament sponsored by the Philadelphia Inquirer Charities. It was played at the Torresdale-Frankford Country Club in Philadelphia. Tournament participants who were also serving their country at the time were listed in the program with their military rank. Among them were Lieutenant Ben Hogan, Lieutenant Lawson Little, and Lieutenant Horton Smith. Great example and documentation of how golf and golfers supported the war effort. This challenging program is in good condition, with some expected cover surface wear.
