Bob Hope Signed Program "Ambassador of Golf" Page
The Doug Sanders Celebrity Classic started in 1988 as the Doug Sanders Kingwood Celebrity Classic. A program from that inaugural tournament is offered here, with a signature from Bob Hope on the page naming Hope the "Ambassador of Golf." His signature is clear in black ink. Bob Hope was an acclaimed comedian, vaudevillian, actor, singer, dancer, athlete, and author. In his leisure time Hope was an avid golfer, playing in as many as 150 charity tournaments a year. So much in fact that he was inducted to the World Golf Hall of Fame in 1983. Introduced to the game in the 1930's while performing in Winnipeg he eventually played to a four handicap. His love for the game—and the humor he could find in it—made him a sought-after foursome member.
James Spence Authentication (JSA) has reviewed the signature and their auction letter of authenticity will come with this lot.
