H.G. Picard Signed Handwritten Letter To Alex Morrison on 1943 Burke Par Grip Co. Inc. Letterhead
On Burke Par Grip Co. Inc. letterhead just to the right of the image of each golf luminary that used "The Grip for Pars and Stars," the 1938 Masters Champion and '39 PGA champ Henry 'H.G.' Picard handwrote seven paragraphs flowing onto the back to his revered teacher fame with his legible cursive in ink. 'Pick' credits Alex Morrison's instruction for much of his success on tour, partnering up with him as a talented, young golfer in the 1920's. In this letter Henry Picard (then a teacher himself) discusses in detail one of his lessons with an individual they both know with limited talent in which he concluded "He (Jim Kessney) is hitting them (golf balls) as good as his physical structure will ever allow." From pupil to teacher, Henry Picard was less formal with his signature after his matching written letter, adding "Sincerely yours, Friend Pick." James Spence Authentication (JSA) has reviewed this signature and their auction letter of authenticity comes with this lot.
