(LOT 691)
c.1920's Bobby Jones Type 1 Underwood & Underwood Photo - Measures Approx. 8" x 10" - PSA Type I Encapsulation

This outstanding Bobby Jones photo portrays the iconic golfer in a leisurely moment at the Winged Foot Country club in Mamaroneck, N.Y. where he was training for the National Open Championship. Depicting superb contrast and clarity, the esthetically brilliant image reveals no glaring blemishes whatsoever, with a few diminutive wrinkles barely visible to the naked eye. The verso includes the classic Underwood & Underwood credit stamp as well as a detailed caption reading as follows: "NATIONAL AMATEUR CHAMPION IN FINAL TRAINING SESSION FOR NATIONAL OPEN CHAMPIONSHIP – MAMARONECK, N.Y. – PHOTO SHOWS: Bobby Jones, the ace of Amateur Golfers, photographed at the Winged Foot Country Club where he is in training for the National Open Championship which will be held over the course here ". Regarding Jones' immense stature, he is a charter member of Golf's Hall of Fame (1974) and one of the greatest players to ever swing a golf club, Bobby Jones' 13 Major Championships are second only to Tiger Woods (15) and the immortal Jack Nicklaus (18). It is this celebrated stature that spurs collectors to pursue his period-style keepsakes, with this ultra-scarce 1920's memento bound to captivate any golfing enthusiast!
