Francis Ouimet Signed 1957 Letter Mentioning Bobby Jones on Ouimet Letterhead - December 2nd


Deserving recipient of the moniker "Father of Amateur Golf" and winner of the 1913 US Open at Country Club, Brookline's own Francis Ouimet penned his name at the conclusion of this letter from December 2, 1957 in which he refers to Bob Jones as "one of (his) closest friends." In the same breath Ouimet adds that he "(has) had many a pleasant skirmish with him on various golf courses" on his personal letterhead. It should be noted that Ouimet's flowing penmanship is both his full name and in black ink, not green, for an ideal signature exemplar for the golf luminary that would pass in 1967 - only 10 years after this missive. James Spence Authentication (JSA) has reviewed this signature and their auction letter of authenticity comes with this lot.
