Signed St Andrews Golf Print, Bobby Jones

About the Item

Rare Bobby Jones Signed 1927 Open Golf Championship Picture. An original 1930 limited edition lithograph titled "Robert Tyre Jones Jr. Winning the British Open Golf Championship". The colour lithograph print is one of 999 prints published, with copyright by Currier & Ives, Inc. It depicts Jones with his Calamity Jane putter holing out on the 18th green on the 'Old Course' at St Andrews to win the 1927 Open. This was the 62nd Open Championship and Bobby Jones, an amateur, successfully defended the title and was the first amateur to win the title back-to-back and the first Champion to retain since James Braid in 1906. He won with a dominating six-stroke victory with a total score of 285 strokes for 72 holes. The rare picture is made even more scarce by the appearance of a flawless black ink signature of the iconic golfer 'Bobby Jones', "Robt. T. Jones, Jr.". What is nice with this autographed piece is there is no inscription or dedication, just the signature. The extra print details are "Robert Tyre Jones Jr. winning the British Open Golf Championship, Reprinted In Fortune Magazine By Special Permission Of Currier & Ives, Inc. The first edition of 999 prints published and copyrighted by Currier & Ives, Inc.,1930, being the first of a series, From an original drawing by J.W.

  • Golf Print, St Andrews Royal and Ancient Golf Club
    Located in Oxfordshire, GB
    1967 Alcan Golfer of the Year Championship By Arthur Weaver. A colourful golf lithograph signed by the artist, Arthur Weaver, of the 18th green at St Andrews. The picture depicting Gay Brewer putting on the 18th green at St Andrews (Royal and Ancient Golf Club) in the 1967 Alcan Tournament. Gay Brewer beat Bill Casper by four strokes in a playoff to earn the biggest jackpot ever given to a tournament winner at that time. Title of the print, 18th Green, Royal & Ancient, Alcan Tournament, October 1967, Winner Gay Brewer, U.S.A. 'Putting'. Published in 1968 by Frost & Reed Limited of Bristol and London, England. Copyright in all countries, including the U.S.A. Foreign. Image size, H. 51 cm W. 64 cm Size with border, H. 59 cm W. 70 cm The Alcan Golfer of the Year Championship, also known as the Alcan Open, was an international golf tournament played from 1967 to 1970. It was sponsored by Alcan Aluminum Ltd. of Canada, a long-time corporate sponsor of professional golf on international circuits. The tournament was dreamed up by a Montreal magazine publisher named Hilles Pickens and a Montreal radio broadcaster named Doug Smith. The idea was to use four tournaments in the U.S. and four in Great Britain to qualify for a tournament at St Andrews. They sold the idea to Aluminium Ltd. of Canada, which was at the time changing its name to Alcan. Alcan thought the tournament would be a fine way to promote the new title with both the public and big buyers all over the world. Arnold Palmer and Jack Nicklaus had qualified to play in the tournament but sent their regrets, as did top U.S. money winners Dan Sikes and Julius Boros. For big-name attractions the tournament had to rely on Casper, Brewer and Doug Sanders. Casper and Brewer played fine golf at the windy St Andrews course and after three rounds they were tied with England's 22-year-old Brian Barnes, at four under par. On Sunday Barnes fell back and come the 18th hole Casper and Brewer were tied at 283. The playoff was played on the Monday over the full 18 holes. St Andrews "The Home of Golf" is on the Fife Coast of eastern Scotland and is considered the oldest and most iconic golf course in the world. The Old Course is 6721 yards with a par of 72. It is famous for the 'Swilcan Bridge' spanning the first and 18th holes and 'Hell Bunker'. Everyone who plays the 18th hole walks over the 700-year-old bridge, with it featuring in many iconic pictures of St Andrews. The Old Course remains a public golf course, open to all and apart from the clubhouse for the Royal and Ancient, there are clubhouses overlooking the links for The St Andrews Golf Club...
