Description
In 1936, Bobby Jones arrived anonymously at St Andrews. He had asked his former caddy, Angus, to arrange a round for him. To his great surprise, thousands of people were waiting for him at the first tee. This is how St Andrews honors its friends. He would never forget it.
This album of more than 400 pages chronicles the exceptional journey of the only golfer to have won four majors in the same year. Bobby Jones would become one of the co-founders of Augusta National Golf Club, and his elegance in life would be emphasized by those close to him.
