Bobby Jones, Stewart Maiden, Jock Hutchison & Robert Gardner Original Photo
This oversize original photo with a crystal clear image on thick paperstock captures a posed, young Bobby Jones with his influential teacher at East Lake Golf Club Stewart Maiden, Open Champion and first co-Honorary Starter at The Masters decades later Jock Hutchison and prized amateur golfing foe Robert Gardner. Both Jones and Maiden appear to have the same badge on, likely that of the contestant identifier however it is not close enough to tell. Jones spoke glowingly of his teacher later, as quoted in 'The Sons of Carnoustie Golf Club.' "The best luck that I ever had in golf was when Stewart Maiden came from Carnoustie to be pro at the East Lake Club. Stewart had the finest and soundest style I have ever seen. Naturally I did not know this at the time, but I grew up swinging like him. I imitated his style, like a monkey I suppose", Bobby Jones came to the realization. This photo measuring 13 1/2" x 10 1/2" is hand-notated on the verso and contains paper loss in the bottom right corner and is an image we haven't seen before, hailing from a collection that had documents written to and other personal belongings of Jones. Please inspect the accompanying lot photos for a detailed condition report.
