Bob Jones Southern States 4-Ball Championship Robert Tyre Jones, Jr. Trophy
Proudly displaying detailed relief depictions of each of Bobby Jones' four 1930 major trophies is this ornate Bob Jones Trophy - Southern States 4-Ball Championship awarded in commemoration of the great Jones' Grand Slam. The showstopping award contains the "Robert Tyre Jones Jr" name twice in the center, with his US Amateur, US Open, British Open and British Amateur 1930 major victories expanded upon in text above the four trophy reliefs. Sportswriter for the 'New York Sun', George Trevor, would phrase Jones' four Major triumphs in 1930 as Jones "stormed the impregnable quadrilateral of golf." Sponsored by the Southern Golf Association, the recipient is unknown for this trophy at the Southern Amateur Championship held at Lakewood Country Club in Dallas, Texas. This trophy measures 14 3/4" x 22", with the metal plate section measuring 10" x 18".James Spence Authentication (JSA) has reviewed this signature and their auction letter of authenticity will come with this lot.
