1935 US Open at Oakmont CC Program Signed by Bobby Jones

Bobby Jones was a career lawyer that co-founded the Augusta National Golf Club and had well-documented success in the game of golf as a life-long amateur. In this program is his signature, by his photo, fittingly on the page titled 'Former National Open Champions.' Jones won four US Opens during his storied career in 1923, 1926, 1929 and 1930. The 1935 Championship was contested at Oakmont Country Club some 20 miles outside Pittsburgh, Pa. It marked the second time the USGA had staged the event at Oakmont. A layout that was recognized as the nonpareil of penal golf course design. The 1935 Open produced a predictable high score of 299. What was not predictable was that Sam Parks Jr., a 25-year-old local pro from Pittsburgh, would best the likes of his teacher Gene Sarazen, Walter Hagen, Denny Shute, Byron Nelson, Tommy Armour and the rest of the field. Front cover is nice on this ALL ORIGINAL example, as some one is reviewing your collection flipping through programs 1933, 1934, 1935. They may even comment "boy that '35 is nice" based on cover alone. With the binding being tight, showing only minimal wear on the two of the four corners, but with the inner pages in lily white condition with no signs of staining or water damage. Along with this program includes pairing sheets and a scorecard for the tournament. Please observe the pictures provided. This is a great example of the '35 program for the U.S. Open signed by Bobby Jones and published by the United States Golf Association.
