About the Item
Jones, Robert (Bobby) Tyre, Jr., Golf Is My Game. New York: Doubleday
Company, Inc., 1960. Second edition, inscribed and signed by Bobby Jones on first free endpaper. Presented in original dust jacket and boards.
This is a second edition of Golf Is My Game, signed by the famous golfer Bobby Jones. Published by Doubleday
Company in New York in 1960, this autobiography is signed on the first free endpaper with blue ink, with an inscription that reads,"To Tom Cauble with best regards Bob Jones." The book is presented in its original dust jacket and boards.
The second autobiography written by Bobby Jones, Golf Is My Game gives Jones’s account of his 1930 “Grand Slam” in which he was the first player to win all of golf’s four major championships in one calendar year. Today, Jones is still the only person to have done so. At just 28 years old and after having won all four titles, Jones retired from competitive golf but his involvement was not over. The author went on to play twelve Master’s Tournaments after his retirement and helped to found the famous Augusta National Golf Club.
This personal account of his career’s most famous year is written in first person and includes captioned illustrations and black and white photographs.
