Arnold Palmer Signed 1954 US Amateur 50th Anniversary 'Turning Point' Book
No less an authority then Jack Nicklaus calls the United States Golf Association's Amateur Championship a "Major." Whether it is or not is open to debate. What is known is that the 1954 US Amateur had a fellow who was selling paint in Cleveland (Arnold Palmer) put his golf game to test over a week of gritty match play, and crowned him champion by virtue of a 1-up win in the 36 hole finals match. That weeks event was contested at The Country Club of Detroit, and it is what Mr. Palmer considers the turning point of his career. Hence the title of this book "Turning Point," commemorating Arnie's win at the 1954 US Amateur. Palmer signed the front page of the book in black marker, his signature coming with JSA authenticity #P66422.
