Shepard, Apollo 14, Fra Mauro Valley Country Club; next photo shows the pair standing under an umbrella, despite the lack of rain; next shows Shepard teeing off with a hockey stick as Bolger, dressed in a winter coat and snowshoes, tracks the trajectory of the ball; and the final photo shows Shepard watching Bolger who is kneeling in prayer. Accompanied by a typed letter from McFadden, Strauss, and Irwin Inc Public Relations to Bolger, dated September 28, 1971, and reads, in part: “Many thanks for your kindness in rushing back from Philadelphia to play golf with the Admiral and help with the publicity photos for the Crosby. They came out well and I am enclosing several enlarged prints for your personal use.” In fine condition. Accompanied by the original mailing envelope.
