Golf Is My Game' Over 50 Pages of 1960 Correspondence Between Bobby Jones & Double Day Publisher

The ailing Bobby Jones made a significant final trek across the North Atlantic Ocean to St Andrews in 1958; this time wearing very different hats than he did during his 1930 "Grand Slam." His trip was legendary for three reasons, as he: received the prestigious Freedom of St Andrews honor, captain the United States Eisenhower Trophy World Amateur team on October 8-11th and 13th and last but not least - wrote his book 'Golf Is My Game.' Bobby Jones wanted "to play to win," as he states. The winning bidder of this lot will garner the previously unknown information from the mind of Bobby Jones.

In this lot you will see a comprehensive curated binder of over 50 pages paper correspondence between Bobby Jones and Doubleday & Company heading up the 'Golf is My Game' project starting in 1958 and published in 1960. Additional works of this professional writer-publisher partnership as he was the publisher of many of Jones' key books including: 'Bobby Jones on Golf' - 1966, 'Bobby Jones on the Basic Swing' - 1969. These are and have been housed inside clear plastic pages to ensure preservation of the significant correspondence between Jones and his publisher.
