Bobby Jones' Personal 'Golf Is My Game' Letters to Par 3 Architect George Cobb & Royalty Statement
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 correspondence of Bobby Jones with the Augusta National Golf Club Par 3 course architect George Cobb. Accompanying those two letters that Jones asks Cobb for the St Andrews 17th hole course map image to include in his 'Golf Is My Game' publication is the Royal Statement for this book for Bobby Jones' Johnes Bird & Howell law firm.
The 'Golf is My Game' project starting in 1958 and published in 1960. Masters historians and fans, along with those with interest in course design are both eager to come across this 'Golf is My Game' correspondence.
