A comprehensive collectionBorn in Morning Sun Iowa Roberts had a troubled family life as a boy and left school in the ninth grade. He worked at a great variety of jobs all around the United States and eventually chose the investment industry for his career.1 He served as Chairman of Augusta National Golf Club from 1931 through 1976 and was named "Chairman in Memoriam" after his death. He also served as Chairman of the Masters Tournament from 1934 through 1976.<br/>An investment banker on Wall Street from the late 1920s Roberts was a partner with Reynolds & Company. He was the co-founder with Bobby Jones of the Augusta National Golf Club. In the early years he and Jones personally extended invitations to the tournament. Roberts' friendship with American president Dwight Eisenhower led to the Eisenhowers making Augusta National their retreat during the 1950s.<br/>Roberts was sometimes described as a 'benevolent dictator'. Roberts received many awards and honors during his lifetime including service on the PGA Advisory Committee from its inception in 1943 until his death appointment by the United States Golf Association to serve on the Bob Jones Award Selection Committee and election to the World Golf Hall of Fame in 1978. He was the author of The Story of the Augusta National Golf Club published in 1976 and a subject of a book titled The Making of the Masters Clifford Roberts Augusta National and Golf's Most Prestigious Tournament by David Owen published in 1999.<br/>It was not until 1975 that Lee Elder became the first black golfer to play in the Masters Tournament although he was not the first non-white golfer to compete; Sukree Onsham of Thailand played in 1970 and 1971. Roberts is quoted as saying "to make an exception would be practicing discrimination in reverse." Lee Elder later said "I don't want anything special. I will make it on my own." Another comment attributed to Roberts is: "As long as I'm alive all the golfers will be white and all the caddies will be black."2 3<br/>Roberts age 84 committed suicide by gunshot in 1977 on the banks of the par-3 course at Augusta National. He had been in ill health for several months. unknown books

1807ST12145Edinburgh: Printed for Peter Hill et al. 1807. FIRST EDITION. 197 x 114 mm. 7 3/4 x 4 1/2". 2 p.l. v-viii 244 pp. <br/> PUBLISHER'S ORIGINAL BLUE BOARDS paper label on spine edges untrimmed. In a felt-lined morocco-backed folding box. Four engraved plates three views and a city plan. Front free endpaper inscribed "Edin. 27th April 1807 / Agnes Cockburn / in memory / of the author." Donovan & Murdoch 270. Boards a little soiled front joint cracked rear joint starting at tail extremities with the expected considerable wear spine label chipped with a fourth of the letters gone but the boards still attached and the extremely insubstantial publisher's binding still appealing because of its original materials. Title page with a bit of offsetting from frontispiece isolated minor foxing in text other trivial imperfections but an excellent copy internally the untrimmed leaves bright fresh and clean with all of their ample margins intact.<br/> <br/> This is an invaluable early book on the history of St. Andrews in general and more specifically on St. Andrews as the home of the game of golf offered here in the publisher's original boards. It is the first work by the clergyman and polymath James Grierson M. D. 1768-1844 and the first printing of the first work on the ultimate destination of all those who consider golf sacred.The final chapter here entitled "The Company of Golfers" gives a short history of golf provides "an idea of the nature of this elegant amusement" and describes how the earliest golf balls called "featheries" on account of their stuffing were made. The book is dedicated to Lady Elizabeth Moncreiffe the daughter of the renowned military leader and politician George Ramsay 9th Earl of Dalhousie Governor General of British North America and later Commander-in-Chief of India wife to Sir Thomas Moncreiffe and a woman of considerable wealth. Grierson had served as tutor to her son Sir David Moncreiffe 6th Baronet 1788-1830 early in his career and apparently maintained a connection to the family.

1903ST20237New York: The Gorham Manufacturing Co 1903. FIRST EDITION. ONE OF 500 COPIES. 102 x 64 mm. 4 x 2 1/2". 4 p.l. 9-148 pp. <br/> CHARMING PUBLISHER'S LIMP SUEDE illustrated covers with a rotund golfer on front and a long-suffering caddy at rear top edge gilt other edges untrimmed. In a later glassine wrapper. Housed in a very sturdy custom-made buckram folding box with inlaid marbled spine label. Color floral and foliate headpieces tailpieces and title page and 16 DELIGHTFUL MOUNTED COLOR PLATES BY JOHN HASSALL. Front endpaper with the ownership inscription "W. P. Rockwell November 1905." Murdoch 888; Donovan & Murdoch 19030. Trivial smudges to the suede but A NEARLY PRISTINE COPY of this delightful little book an item that is simply never found this well preserved.<br/> <br/> This is a diminutive golf manual with immense charm and offered in the most immaculate condition possible. In a small-pocket format the book provides the golfer with the game's rules etiquette technical terms names of golf clubs and their various uses a list of American champions since the organization of the United States Golf Association and a roster of the "leading players in the United States." Accompanying the text are a group of quite charming colored plates done by John Hassall 1868-1948 an active and celebrated watercolorist poster designer and illustrator from 1895 onwards. Houfe calls him "an original and versatile designer." As can be seen in the present volume Hassall seems to have been influenced by "the flat colors and two-dimensional decorative quality of Japanese prints which he adapts to his own work with thick outline and careful patterning." Whatever the influence one can't help but smile when looking at his work. Hassall depicts golf costume through the ages here including golfers in kilts trousers cloaks knickers and other attire; he also shows us a pair of disarmingly shabby young caddies two women and a boy incongruously dressed in Napoleonic greatcoat and tricorn hat. The most memorable thing about this item is its condition: as a book intended to be put in one's pocket and as a volume that was never sturdy to begin with there is absolutely no explanation for how our copy has survived to the present day in its remarkable state of preservation. When this copy without its box was sold in 2004 at PBA Galleries the most prominent auction purveyor of golf books and equipment the catalogue called it "the finest copy we have ever offered of this exceedingly scarce and fragile book.".

1930ST20235London: Harrods Ltd 1930s. FIRST EDITION. 76 x 51 mm. 3 x 2". 100 pp. <br/> Original green or orange paper wrappers side stitched titling on front cover and imprint on spine. In a custom-made folding buckram box with book wells for the three books and gilt-stamped marbled paper label inset on spine of the box. Consisting of three bound sets of 50 sequential photographs that when flipped either from back to front or front to back generate a stop motion animation of Bobby Jones demonstrating the proper form for executing a shot with various golf clubs see below. Advertisements on inside wrappers. Donovan & Murdoch 22610. One volume with portions of spine gone at either end with partial loss of imprint wrappers inevitably somewhat soiled corners a bit rounded as expected but still remarkably well preserved especially considering its inevitable hard use being entirely sound and with the photographs in excellent condition.<br/> <br/> This is a scarce grouping of some of the most charming sports as well as miniature books we've ever offered for sale. In the 1930s the famous London department store Harrods published a series of so-called sports "flicker" books of which these three are perhaps the most famous other sports books involved cricket tennis lacrosse soccer badminton swimming and greyhound racing. Our three "flicker" books when the pages are riffled with one's thumb or fingers show the famous smooth-swinging American golfer Bobby Jones executing shots with various clubs. The first book #11a in the Harrods series features the driver and the mashie. The modern equivalent for this latter piece of equipment is slightly elusive but the "mashie" is an iron club with considerable loft meant to hit a golf ball a relatively short distance with a high trajectory Jones' "driver" has the same meaning today as it did 90 years ago. The second book features shots with a "brassie" roughly equivalent to today's 3- or 4-wood and an "iron" also called a "driving iron" which is like today's 1- or 2-iron. The third book shows Jones putting and escaping from heavy rough with a high-lofted club like today's sand wedge. It is great fun--not to mention still instructive--to riffle through these photographs watching one of the world's most celebrated golf swings come to life complete with Jones' knickers white shirt and flapping tie. It is also a fact of some interest that this English series would feature an American player at a time when British dominance in golf was beginning to erode. Given the physical use to which these items have been subjected it is difficult to believe that they are still intact let alone that they are solid enough to be handled without worry.

Full green morocco gilt lettering stamped on front cover decorative Italian patterned endpapers minor scuffing & wear to fore-edges very light sunning to front cover still a VG exemplar. This excellent souvenir photo album depicts the golf tourney hosted by the Youngstown Country Club in honor of Campbell’s 1854-1933 72nd birthday in 1926. The opening photo depicts all the participants and dignitaries at the Country Club followed by images of players on the greens. The 18-hole course was built on the 131-acre Holland Farm and designed by Walter Travis featuring a $ 60000 Clubhouse which was noted for elegance and model comfort. These images depict the quintessential 1920’s golfing excursion including those of players the greens the roughs caddies and even an image of what appears to be Walter Travis himself taking a turn on the links. The year before in 1925 the Youngstown Country Club had hosted the 25th Open Championship of the Western Golf Assoc. and legends of the game including Walter Hagen Gene Sarazen and Tommy Armour III all played the course. Campbell was an enthusiastic golfer until his death holding a similar tourney in 1929 on his 75th birthday. He had begun his business career by forming the Youngstown Ice Co. in the summer of 1884 and by 1890 was hired as manager of the Trumbull Iron Co. later consolidated into Union Iron & Steel Co. In 1901 he founded Youngstown Steel and Tube Co. but after a failed merger at the beginning of the Great Depression his health declined. See: Ted Heineman James A.
