George Duncan Handwritten Signed Letter

The letter presented in this lot is handwritten and signed by 3x Ryder Cupper and 1920 Open Champion George Duncan. Well known for his fast pace of play, if he ever studied the line and shape of his shot, he had done it before he reached his ball. He even considered practice swings as almost being illegal! A great champion who passes away in 1964, a signature and handwritten letter is a great addition to any golf collection Duncan was well known for his fast pace of play; he would simply walk to his ball, drop his limbs into his stance immediately, and hit the ball. If he ever studied the line and shape of his shot, he had done it before he reached his ball, for there was no pause when he got to it. As for practice swings, he regarded them as totally unnecessary and barely legal – close to practicing on the course a Scottish professional golfer. He was also a golf course designer. His much sought-after professional teaching and swing analysis skills lead to him being referred to as "the pro's pro." He won the 1920 Open Championship.
