FIRST EDITION OF THE BOBBY JONES STORY
First British edition of this biography on the legendary golfer Bobby Jones. Octavo, original cloth, illustrated. Preface by Bobby Jones. With a Special foreword by Bernard Darwin. Name to the endpaper and dedication page, near fine in a near fine dust jacket.
Taken from the writings of journalist O.B. Keeler who closely followed Bobby Jones’ career and co-wrote Down the Fairway. “Jones left an enduring legacy of athletic prowess and exemplary personal characteristics. No one is likely to break his records of 13 U.S. and British national championships, and four in one year (he won the U.S. Open a total of four times, the U.S. Amateur five times, the British Open three times, and the British Amateur one time)… The Masters seems to have a secure place in the pantheon of golf; and the name Bobby Jones will continue to represent the highest standards of amateurism, sportsmanship, and self-mastery” (ANB).
