Charles Price's Personal Book 'A golf Story: Bobby Jones, Augusta National, & the Masters Tournament
From the Charles Price personal library comes this leather-bound first edition of "A Golf Story. Each player that participated in the historic 1986 Masters Tournament received one of the leather-bound first edition. Price shared a remarkably close friendship with Bobby Jones, and spent many confidential hours alone with Jones in August, Atlanta, and New York discussing golf at length. In addition, he also acted as Jones legman at many Masters Tournaments when Jones could no longer leave his cottage due to his crippling disease. As for the book, Price spent three years intertwining these stories from first hand experience with Augusta National and the Masters Tournament. In an unprecedented move, Augusta National opened its guarded archive to Price, thereby making this book the first authorized history of the club and Tournament. Three stories are intertwined, the first is about Bobby, the second the formation of Augusta National Golf Club, and third The Masters Tournament itself. This true classic of golf literature is available to you now, directly from the author's peroneal library.
