Bobby Jones And Ralph Guldahl 1942 Hale America Original Wire Photo 'From Ralph And Bob'
Bobby Jones and 1939 Masters champion Ralph Guldahl were captured mid-conversation, Guldahl with driver in hand at the 1942 Hale America Open which took the place of the US Open at Ridgemoor Country Club in Chicago, Illinois during the WWII hold. This candid photo captured at Ben Hogan's "first major" of a casual Jones in a white t-shirt, hands on hips and Guldahl is inscribed "To Charlie from Ralph and Bob" while not in their hands. The verso of this wire photo contains the adhered corresponding photo caption. Interestingly enough this caption incorrectly states that they both competed among the 107 entrants prior to getting underway, with the retired Jones referred to as then-current "Captain in the Army Air Corps" not in the field. The clear original photo contains some expected creasing and surface wear along with adhesive residue and a rather inconsequential pin hole.
