Description

Exceedingly rare golf ball from the "World’s Greatest Golfer"

Renowned American golfer (1902-1971) remembered for his 1930 'grand slam' victories in the Masters Tournament, US Open, US Amateur, and British Amateur. Extremely rare golf ball signed in fountain pen, “With best wishes, Sincerely, Bob Jones.” The ball has been mounted to a wooden plaque (with back half of the ball recessed into the plaque) and lettered at the bottom “World’s Greatest Golfer.” In very good condition, with a surface mark affecting a single stroke in his surname, expected light skipping to signature and sentiment from dimples, light overall surface crazing to the ball, and a light shade of toning. Bobby Jones signed golf balls represent one of the great rarities of golf collecting—very few examples are known, and this is the first one we have offered in over a decade.
