Description

Horton Smith

Early “boy wonder” of golf (1908–1963) who, at the age of twenty-one, played on the 1929 PGA tour and won eight of twenty-two events, as well as finishing second six times. He was also the winner of the first (1934) Masters Tournament, and won again in 1936. ALS signed “H. S.,” one page, 6 x 9.75, February 22, 1958. Letter to future PGA President Warren Orlick. In part: “Note enclosed which indicates a further lack of control of prices & those practices which I don’t think our Pro Shop biz but it indicates lack of legal support of Mdse biz. At one time I thought U.S. Rubber was going to set a good ‘Fair Trade’ example in our biz but there are too many pressures I guess.” In fine condition. Pre-certified Steve Grad/PSA/DNA and RRAuction COA.
