1921 US Team Photo Pre Walker Cup - Bobby Jones 19yrs old

Bobby Jones made his first visit to Great Britain in 1921 at the age of 19. He traveled as part of an informal team of Americans who would compete against their British counterparts in what would become the Walker Cup matches the following year. The trip also gave the Americans a chance to participate in the two British major tournaments’’the Amateur and Open . This photo was taken at that Pre-walker cup event. Rare photo indeed. Bobby Jones is known for creating the Augusta National Golf Course and the Masters Golf Tournament. A little known fact is that he designed the first ever set of "matched clubs". He won 7 Majors, including 1923-1926-1929 and 1930; the British Open in 1926-1927 and 1930. He also won 6 amateur tournaments and played on 5 US Walker Cup Teams, being Captain in 1928 and 1930. He is in the World Golf Hall of Fame.
