Rare 1938 Original Bobby Jones Edgerton Study Swing Sequence Photo - Pre-Swing
Proudly presented in this lot is a rare 1938 original Bobby Jones Edgerton Study swing sequence study photo with the shirt and tie clad Jones in his pre-swing and facial features distinguishable. In January of 1939, a groundbreaking study that would flip the golf instruction profession on its head occurred - finally equipping the industry with the visuals necessary to properly study the swing and its intricacies. This study, or trial as it was labeled at the time, was conducted by Harold Edgerton of the firm Edgerton, Germeshausen and Grier (E&G) with the perfect swing sequence subject - Bobby Jones himself. Jones in front of a white screen and club in hand was captured during that study, many being full body shots for analysis. State-of-the-art high-speed photography was only newly available, just like this museum-grade study photo released 85 years ago. 8" x 10"
