Charles 'CB' Macdonald Signed 1930 Personal Message on Flyleaf Page
When it comes to an influential hall of fame resume MacDonald had all the facets of the game covered. Tutored by Old Tom Morris, Charles began playing golf matches with prominent golfers of the day on the Old Course at St. Andrews, including Young Tom Morris. As a player he won the first United States Amateur in 1895 by the match play score of 12&11 (which is still the record winning margin to this day). With his course design work that includes Chicago Golf Club and the National Golf Links, MacDonald earned the title of "Father of American Golf Architecture". Finally as a pioneer of golf in the Americas this visionary became a driving force in the founding of the U.S.G.A. Donald. Here he handwrote a missive on a flyleaf dated 1930 and signed it below. MacDonald is a significantly difficult signature to obtain, only handling a few over the last 17 years.James Spence Authentication (JSA) has reviewed this signature and their auction letter of authentication (ALOA) comes with this lot.
