Sir Walter and Mr. Jones Walter Hagen, Bobby Jones, and the Rise of American Golf

Stephen Lowe's "Sir Walter and Mr. Jones is an amazingly detailed cradle-to-the-grave account of the lives and achievements of two of the greatest golfers in history--Walter Hagen and Bobby Jones. And the author makes it clear that golf's elevation of importance in the 1920s and '30s--that is still true today--was largely due to the personalities, popularity and playing ability of these two men. - One was a professional; the other was an amateur. One came from a poor background; the other came from a well-to-do southern family. One was flashy and self-promoting; the other was humble and self-effacing. One was the winner of nine major championships; the other was the winner of thirteen. Both, though, were the best players of their eras, and they left an indelible mark on the game of golf. - If you love golf history, you are going to love this incredibly detailed book.Lowe, Stephen R. is the author of 'Sir Walter and Mr. Jones Walter Hagen, Bobby Jones, and the Rise of American Golf' with ISBN 9781585360093 and ISBN 1585360090.
