Francis Ouimet Signed 1963 'A Game of Golf' Anniversary Printing Book
Here is a Francis Ouimet Signed 1963 50th anniversary printing of 'A Game of Golf' book penned to Alexander M. Radko, who was the former National Direction of the USGA Green Section and recipient of the 1983 award for it. The "Father of Amateur Golf" and winner of the 1913 US Open penned his name and 'Best Wishes to Alex Radko' in strong green ink on the white of the page below the book title. Radko then signed it 'To my good friend Jack' when Radko passed it on to this book's next owner. Creating one of the most storied victories in golf history, Ouimet was triumphant at his home course of The Country Club as Brookline. Famously employing his 10-year old caddy Eddie Lowery, the image of the pair walking with the bag that day is looked back on when remembering that day. Said image can be found opposite the title page. James Spence Authentication (JSA) has reviewed this signature and their auction letter of authenticity comes with this lot.
