Golf?s Golden Age: Golf Book by Rand JerrisThe late 1920s and early 30s were the Golden Age of American golf, when many of the greatest amateurs and professional to play the game were at the peak of their careers. Most notably among these was Bobby Jones. Golf?s Golden Age celebrates Bobby Jones and 61 of the premier players he competed against, including Chick Evans, Walter Hagen, Tommy Armour, Walter Travis, and Gene Sarazen, in his quest to win the Grand Slam through a series of never before seen vintage photographs from Jones? private collection. A biographic sketch of each golfer will accompany the photographs, taken by legendary golf photographer George Pietzcker. The profiles will provide an overview of each player?s career, their contribution to the game?s history, and a contemporary quote (preferably from Jones) drawn from the rich archives of the USGA library. Introductory essays will set the tone for the book discussing the Golden Era of American Golf and the significance of the Grand Slam, and provide an overview on the life, career and contributions of George Pietzcker. A concluding essay will detail Jones? rich history and contribution to the game of golf. This hardcover golf book is approximately pages in length and a great addition to your golf library. |
