Bobby Jones Signed 1960 'Golf Is My Game' Book to Laurie Auchterlonie
Presented here is the famous Bobby Jones Book, “Golf is my Game” which is hand signed by Bobby Jones in ballpoint ink to premier clubmaker Laurie Auchterlonie on the white of the flyleaf. This early edition book comes with its original dustjacket with a close shot of Jones in good condition over 60 years since print. Bobby Jones of course 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. Merely mentioning Bobby Jones had an impact on The Masters would be selling him extremely short. He was The Masters, from building Augusta National Golf Club the way he envisioned doing it to starting the ""Invitation Tournament"" in 1934. The first playing was only four years of course after his Grand Slam year of 1930 in which he won the US Open, US Amateur, Open Championship and British Amateur." While personalization generally decrease presentation value, we feel that this example strays from the norm - only enhancing the provenance and its story. James Spence Authentication (JSA) has reviewed this signature and their auction letter of authenticity comes with this lot.
