Jimmy Demaret & Jack Burke Signed & Inscribed Champions GC 1957/1976 Book
Here we have a signed and inscribed Champions Golf Club 1957/1976 book. It comes in good condition and is signed and inscribed four times. Champions Golf Club was founded by Jimmy Demaret and Jack Burke, both of who signed this copy. Champions GC hosted was founded in 1957 and has hosted the 1967 Ryder Cup matches as well as the 1969 US Open. It would appear this book was signed and inscribed to "Toney," possibly the noted clubmaker Toney Pena. The inscriptions read as follows:
Jimmy Demaret: "To our pal, and long time friend, the king of the club whittlers. Thanks for your friendship. Your Pal,
Jimmy Demaret"
Jack Burke: "Thanks for so many things you have done for golf and the people in it - Your Pal,
Jack Burke"
Pat Duncan: "Toney, they broke the mold after you came along.
Pat Duncan"
Jay Hebert: "To my friend Toney
We appreciate your love for golf.
Jay Hebert"
