'Chick' Evans Signed ALS with Golf Advice Written on Reverse of Three Photos
Over his long career which started in the early 1900's, Chick Evans was one of the most recognized faces in American amateur golf. In 1916, he was the first amateur to win the U.S. Open and the U.S. Amateur in the same year. He followed this feat up with a second U.S. Amateur title in 1920. As a member of the World Golf Hall of Fame and with his Evans caddie scholarship program remaining so important to this day, Chick will long be recognized in the golf community for more than just his outstanding play at the turn of the century. Offered here for bidders is a letter written by Evans to "Robert" in stunning black ink. He writes to Robert with some instructions on how to improve his game, as well as three photographs with more instruction on the back. The letter shows vertical and horizontal creases, though they hardly detract from the presentation of the piece.
James Spence Authentication (JSA) has reviewed the signature and their auction letter of authenticity will come with this lot.
