Francis Ouimet Signed Ltd Ed 292/500 'A Game of Golf' Book with Slipcase
Deserving recipient of the moniker "Father of Amateur Golf" and winner of the 1913 US Open at Country Club, Brookline's own Francis Ouimet penned his name in this prized publication limited edition 292/500 copy of 'A Game of Golf.' This was performed with his chosen writing implement in 1932, the year of printing by the local Riverside Press Company in the nearby Cambridge, Massachusetts. Creating one of the most storied victories in golf history, Ouimet was victorious at his home course of The Country Club as Brookline. Adding to the lore was Ouimet's chosen partner in crime, famously employing 10-year old caddy Eddie Lowery, with the image of the pair walking with the bag that day is looked back on when remembering that day. Said image can be found opposite the title page in this deluxe slipcase outfitted book. This green hardcover book is in very good condition, preserved in the red slipcase that shows more of its age. James Spence Authentication (JSA) has reviewed this signature and their auction letter of authenticity comes with this lot.
