1930 Bobby Jones 'Wins British Amateur at St. Andrews' Completes Grand Slam Wire Photo
Uncommon is it that a photo of a golfer searching for their ball be joined by a corresponding verso caption that details the subject's major championship victory or any tournament win for that matter. Bobby Jones was an uncommon golfer, but that would be greatly downplaying his significant career, impact on the sport and 1930 season. Pictured is from the fourth and final leg of the 'Grand Slam' or 'Impregnable Quadrilateral.' It would fittingly be at the Home of Golf - St. Andrews. This Underwood and Underwood photographer was in the right place at the right time, capturing this between shots moment of uncertainty for the man atop the sports summit. The very good condition crystal clear black and white image with Jones, donning knickers and a matching cap, in the foreground and the gallery in the background carries the verso caption and measures 7 3/4x9 1/2.
