2019 July Open Championship Week Memorabilia Auction

Lot #42:

Original Bobby Jones Tee Off Photo at 1926 Open Championship - Royal Lytham & St. Annes

Original Bobby Jones Tee Off Photo at 1926 Open Championship - Royal Lytham & St. Annes

Held in England at Royal Lytham & St Annes Golf Club, the 1926 Open Championship offered patrons the opportunity to see American amateur golfer Bobby Jones become the 'Champion Golfer of the Year' for the first time. Some took advantage of those circumstances more than others. Here is an original 2 5/8" x 4 1/2" that was taken of Jones teeing off from a patron sitting at ground level. "R. J. Jones U.S.A. and H. Gapper" is printed in pencil on the reverse. Capturing history nearly 100 years ago was a different process than it is today, and much more impressive.
