1928 USGA Amateur Golf Championship Ticket
The 1928 United States Amateur Championship saw Bobby Jones at the most dominate stage of his career. This event played in match play saw Jones post a staggering double digit triumph in each of his last three matches on the way to the title - quarter-final match (14 and 13 equalling the most decisive win in the events history), the semi-final Friday September 14 (13 and 12), and the route completing final win was a 10 and 9 victory over T. Phillip Perkins who was a top competitor of the day as the reigning British Amateur Champion. It truly was a record setting Amateur for Jones in claiming his fourth of a record five career U.S.G.A Amateur Championships. Offered here in virtual creaseless condition with original string still attached is a seldom seen, in any condition, admission ticket to Brae Burn Country Club in West Newton, MA. for Jones' Friday domination of his semi-final opponent. A reason for the creaseless condition of this ducat which does contain vintage fountain pen writing, Bobbie Jones (sic),on front side can be found with a flip to its reverse where evidence of scrapebook mounting appears. This however has helped the example some 80 plus years later to retain its almost exact printing color. This items ranks as one of the scarcist Jones' items The Golf Auction has had the pleasure of auctioning.
