Classic Golf Photo's
« on: March 31, 2010, 02:19:25 PM »
I am in search of classic pictures. Jones, Hagen, Sarazen, Hogan, Snead, Venturi, Palmer, Nicklaus, Trevino, etc.

Looking for basic run of the mill type quality, not rare or basicallly I am not looking to spend a ridiculous amount of money.

Looking to frame and hang on a wall.

Any help is appreciated.

Thanks,

Mike

Once in a Spokane hotel gift shop I saw a great picture of a young Bobby Jones posing with Harry Vardon.  Due to the framing it was pricy, but I came very close to buying it.  I haven't seen it since.
It must be kept in mind that the elusive charm of the game suffers as soon as any successful method of standardization is allowed to creep in.  A golf course should never pretend to be, nor is intended to be, an infallible tribunal.

There are some great pictures out there of Jones where when you look at him you can't help but see some Phil Mickelson in there.

Lynn - I've seen the Vardon - Jones picture in a couple of books and in old magazines. It's around, though I've never seen a framed copy for sale.

Thanks Brian.  Now I got to work on a quality enlargement of the 8X10.
