Horton Smith, Lawson Little, Jimmy Thomson, & Harry Cooper Signed Golf Ball

Once Little was in the Spalding stable a group was formed known as the "Trained Seals." They were Little, Horton Smith, Jimmy Thomson and Harry Cooper, and they became a famous Spalding exhibition crew. They traveled together, mostly by luxurious train while everyone else drove, and staged their own pretournament matches and clinics. "Can you fellows really balance golf balls on your noses?" Demaret would ask. Horton Smith was the boss and the bookkeeper, and at the clinics he demonstrated the short game, chipping and putting. Jimmy Thomson hit the wood shots. Cooper, a nervous man who had a habit of jingling coins in his pocket, especially while you studied a putt, displayed the mid-irons. Lawson Little hit the long irons, his specialtyhttps://www.si.com/vault/1966/04/04/610621/it-was-fun-time-in-the-thirties A letter of from PGA Historian Bob Denney will accompany this lot.
