1927 US Amateur at Minikahda Caddy Badge - Bobby Jones Winner
Bobby Jones would win his 3rd USGA Amateur Championship at the Minikahda Club in Minneapolis in 1927 , defeating Chick Evans 8&7.
This large (2 ¼ “) Caddy badge, No. 161, is a very scarce item from that tournament and may be one of the few if not the only one left in existence. The badge was made by the Wendell Co. in Minneapolis (as so stamped on the badge rim) and has survived in overall good condition from its’ 1927 origins.
Beyond the 1927 program, memorabilia from this tournament are very scarce. Gilchrest lists the 1927 ticket as “none known” and the contestant badge has rarely if ever appeared.
This badge would pair and display nicely with the 1927 program.
Memorabilia from any of Bobby Jones’ 13 major victories are highly collectible and this badge is no exception.
