TLS signed “Bing,” three pages, 7.25 x 10.5, personal letterhead, January 5, 1965. Letter to an English gentleman regarding American and British golf. In part, “Yes, I did play Schiberta but it was in terrible condition. The most recent owner sold off some property for a housing development and has really wrecked the course…Very sad about the British Walker Cup team, after that magnificent first day, to lose so many points the second day. It sounds treasonable, I know, but I was really pulling for them to win…Golf is a game of imitation, you know, and if a young fellow plays enough with these great players, he’s bound to pick up lots of shots and lots of know-how…Jack Nicklaus, with his big game, didn’t even make the 36 hole cut.” In fine condition.
