TLS signed “Bob Jones,” one page, 7.25 x 10.25, personal letterhead, November 27, 1967. Jones writes to Charles V. McAdam, longtime executive at the McNaught Syndicate. In part: “I…am pleased that you have authorized a biography. I am sure it will be interesting. Since receiving your letter, I have tried to think of some exciting or interesting experience you and I shared; but I have not been able to come up with anything. I remember that we played the two rounds of golf you mention at Cleveland and Blind Brook; and I recall that I have also seen you several times in Augusta. Beyond this, I can think of nothing that would illuminate Dr. Steincrohn’s book. I have always enjoyed your company, and I must tell Dr. Steincrohn that you play as hard as you work, and that within your handicap bracket, you were a pretty tough guy to handle on the golf course.” In fine condition.
The year 1967 turned out to be the last Augusta tournament hosted by the golf icon, as the once athletic Jones suffered from a spinal ailment for some two decades that led to his eventual paralysis and death. Jones had played in the first Masters and in several thereafter, but he was never among the leaders. Even so, he always wore his green jacket at victory ceremonies, signifying club membership, and serving as club president. Pre-certified Steve Grad/PSA/DNA and RRAuction COA.
