Charles 'C.B.' Macdonald Signed 1928 Letter to Thomas Baskerville About Book Content
Charles B MacDonald signed the bottom of this letter on his personal Broadway New York, New York letterhead with a strong, dark signature. Content speaks about his recent book that was release in 1928, excelling in so many areas that his accomplished golf writing is sometimes pushed to the back. When it comes to an influential hall of fame resume MacDonald had all the facets of the game covered. Tutored by Old Tom Morris, Charles began playing golf matches with prominent golfers of the day on the Old Course at St. Andrews, including Young Tom Morris. As a player he won the first United States Amateur in 1895 by the match play score of 12&11 (which is still the record winning margin to this day). With his course design work that includes Chicago Golf Club and the National Golf Links, MacDonald earned the title of "Father of American Golf Architecture". Finally as a pioneer of golf in the Americas this visionary became a driving force in the founding of the U.S.G.A. Donald. This letter is in very good condition, with the vertical and horizontal compact folds. James Spence Authentication (JSA) has reviewed this signature and their auction letter of authenticity comes with this lot.
