Description
This exceptional album of over 200 photographs, some never before published, retraces the remarkable career of Bobby Jones, who won the Grand Slam in 1930. Co-founder of the Augusta National Golf Club and the Masters, he embodied elegance both in life and on the course.
In this collector's edition, you'll discover his friends: Walter Hagen, Tommy Armour, Gene Sarazen, Ben Hogan, as well as O. B. Keeler, journalist and spiritual father.
A moving and unique work, the result of in-depth research by writer-historian David Lawrence.
Author of «Marilyn Monroe, America's Secret», «Pablo Picasso, lettres imaginaires», «Ben Hogan, C'est la vie», «Le monde selon Andy Warhol», «Jackie Kennedy, Parlez-moi d'amour», «David Bowie, Mr Jones's Long Hair» and «Freddie Mercury, Ne dis jamais adieu», David Lawrence conveys in these pages his love for golf and its history.
The album is prefaced by Bobby Jones's grandson, who declared that the book «is one of the finest ever written about my grandfather».
The introduction is signed by the late Peter Alliss, BBC British Open commentator, and the great champion Gary Player.
