19651140121965. Autograph letter signed by Bobby Jones to golfing rival and friend Walter Hagen. One page typescript the letter is dated December 17 1965 and reads "Dear Walter: A little bird not to be confused with birdie whispered to me that on December 21st you are celebrating your seventy-third birthday. I very definitely want to be counted among those sending best regards and best wishes for many happy returns. I hope you will live to be a hundred because guys like you come along so seldom. I sent a message to you not long ago by young Walter. I hope he remembered to deliver it. I was much concerned about you while you were in the hospital and have been thinking of you very often since that time. My wife Mary last February had an operation similar to yours. I am happy to say her results have been most satisfactory but at least I got an education in these matters to know something of what you went through. I see nothing in all this to interfere with your enjoyment of those lakes and big pines you once told me about. Knowing you as I do I am sure you will not miss a minute of this enjoyment. My warmest regards and all best wishes. Sincerely "Bob."' In near fine condition. Accompanied by the original transmittal envelope. A fine association.

1966100288Garden City NY: Doubleday & Company 1966. First edition of "the most practical and useful golf book ever written covering every shot in the game and every aspect of play." Octavo original half cloth illustrated by Anthony Ravielli. Presentation copy inscribed by the author on the half-title page "For Gene Ballard With best regards Bob Jones."

One of the more uncommon titles to find signed and inscribed as Jones passed away in 1971. Bobby Jones left an enduring legacy of athletic prowess and exemplary personal characteristics. No one is likely to break his records of thirteen U.S. and British national championships and four in one year he won the U.S. Open a total of four times the U.S. Amateur five times the British Open three times and the British Amateur one time. The Masters seems to have a secure place in the pantheon of golf; and the name Bobby Jones will continue to represent the highest standards of amateurism sportsmanship and self-mastery" ANB.
