EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of Bobby Jones, the legendary American golfer, in his prime. Published in 1930, it showcases a first edition of his book "Bobby Jones on Golf" which serves as a testament to his remarkable achievements and profound impact on the sport. In just eight years, starting from 1922, Jones achieved unparalleled success in championship golf. His illustrious career includes three Open Championships, one Amateur Championship, four US Opens, five US Amateur Championships, and being part of the winning team in five Walker Cups. However, it was in 1930 that he accomplished an extraordinary feat by achieving the Grand Slam - triumphing at the Open Championship, US Open, Amateur Championship and US Amateur Championship all within a single year. Following this monumental achievement, he retired from competitive golf. The photograph portrays Jones as a symbol of excellence and determination. Dressed impeccably in classic plus fours attire with a tie neatly fastened around his collar and holding his trusty golf club with confidence; he exudes both style and skill. The vibrant colors add vibrancy to this snapshot from the 1930s while emphasizing Jones' status as an iconic sportsman. As we gaze upon this image today through Sarah Fabian Baddiel's lens capturing Robert Tyre Jones Jr. , also known as Bob or simply Bobby Jones himself; we are reminded not only of his incredible accomplishments but also of how he forever changed the game of golf for generations to come.
