Signed limited edition, preceding the first trade edition of what many consider the greatest golf book of the 20th century. Octavo, original half vellum over green boards, gilt titles to the spine, top edge gilt, tissue-guarded frontispiece, illustrated. One of 300 numbered copies signed by both Robert T. Jones and O.B. Keeler on the limitation page and again by Jones beneath his frontispiece, this is number 65. Additionally signed by Gary Player on the limitation page. Gary Player occupies a central place in the history of golf and stands among the sportâs most accomplished and influential champions. Known as part of golfâs legendary âBig Threeâ alongside Arnold Palmer and Jack Nicklaus, Player distinguished himself through exceptional longevity, relentless physical discipline, and remarkable international success. Over the course of his career, the South African golfer captured nine major championships and more than 150 professional victories worldwide, becoming one of the few players to achieve the career Grand Slam. In this respect, Player may be seen as carrying forward the standard of excellence established by Bobby Jones, whose brilliance and sportsmanship defined the gameâs golden age. Jonesâs extraordinary achievements, including his historic Grand Slam of 1930, helped establish the ideals and traditions that shaped the sport in the twentieth century. Decades later, Player emerged as one of golfâs great international ambassadors, combining extraordinary skill with a deep respect for the gameâs traditions while capturing nine major championships and achieving the career Grand Slam. Together, Jones and Player represent two generations of greatness whose careers helped define and expand the legacy of modern golf. In very good condition. From the library of distinguished American industrialist, philanthropist, and collector B. Brannan Reath (1873â"1943) with his bookplate to the pastedown. Housed in the rare original publisher's slipcase. A completely unique example uniting two of golfâs most legendary champions, whose achievements helped shape and elevate the enduring legacy of the modern game. Down the Fairway: The Golf Life and Play of Robert T. Jones, Jr. offers one of the earliest and most intimate accounts of the career and philosophy of Bobby Jones, the legendary amateur whose brilliance transformed the game of golf during its golden age. Written in collaboration with the noted sportswriter O. B. Keeler, Jonesâs close friend and longtime chronicler, the work combines biography, instruction, and reflection, providing insight into both Jonesâs extraordinary competitive achievements and his thoughtful approach to the sport. Through personal recollections, technical observations, and Keelerâs vivid narration, the book traces Jonesâs rise to prominence and explores the principles that guided his play, including discipline, sportsmanship, and respect for golfâs traditions. As both a contemporary record of Jonesâs career and an enduring classic of golf literature, Down the Fairway remains an important document of the gameâs formative modern era.
