Bobby Jones Shenvalee Golf Exhibition Postcard
Per a related newspaper article, on September 8 1927, Bobby Jones put on a brief exhibition at the Shenvalee golf course, driving several balls off the No. 1 tee and making brief explanations of the finer points of his shots. It was reported that an estimated 400 people witnessed the exhibition.
In 1927, Jones and Joe Kirkwood took part in a motorcade tour from Atlanta to Quebec sponsored by the Atlanta Journal. The tour made many stops along the way and had lunch at the Shenvalee Hotel in New Market Virginia.
This advertising postcard for the hotel features a photo of Jones taken during that 1927 exhibition. Very collectible Bobby Jones item from an exhibition held shortly after his 1927 Amateur win at Minikahda.
