- PAUL CALLE & CHRIS CALLE "1930S - BOBBY
PAUL CALLE & CHRIS CALLE "1930S - BOBBY JONES" WCPaul Calle (1928 - 2010) and Chris Calle (B. 1961) "1930s - Bobby Jones & Golfing" Signed lower right. Original Mixed Media on Illustration Board.
Provenance: Collection of James A. Helzer (1946-2008), Founder of Unicover Corporation.
This painting is the original which was published on the Fleetwood First Day Cover for the U.S. 32c Bobby Jones/1930's 20th Century stamps issued September 10, 1998.
Those who knew Bobby Jones as a child would never have expected that he would one day become a golfing legend -- the greatest amateur ever to play the game. He was frail and awkward looking, with a head too large for his body. He also suffered from a digestive ailment that doctors believed would kill him before he was fully grown. Yet Jones became the first man to win golf's coveted grand slam, winning in a single year the four major tournaments of the time. In 1930 he captured the the U.S. Open, the British Open, the U.S. Amateur and the British Amateur titles, then promptly retired at the age of 28 with nothing left to prove. In a seven year span (1923-1930) he won 13 of the 27 major tournaments he played in. Although Jones attracted huge galleries and helped make golf a major sport, he was a practicing lawyer who never played the game for money. In retirement, Jones made a series of motion picture shorts demonstrating the basics of the golf swing. But perhaps his greatest contribution to golf came when he helped convert a botanical garden in Augusta, Georgia, into the most revered golf course in the nation, then founded the tournament bearing the one name that would do it justice -- the Masters.

- GOLFING WITH ROBERT, BOBBY & IKE Lots
GOLFING WITH ROBERT, BOBBY & IKE Lots 909-925 in this auction are associated with the golfing life of Robert Woodruff.
Georgia like Scotland is ?golf? country. Nothing heralds that fact more than the Grand-Slam championship of Georgia?s favorite so - Robert Tyre Jones, Jr. and, of course, HIS golf course in Augusta. The Augusta National Golf Club, a 365-acre site also referred to as the ?Masters? was founded by Bobby Jones along with Clifford Jones in 1932. It is perhaps one of the most exclusive golf clubs in the world.
Robert Tyre (Bobby) Jones and Robert Woodruff were very close friends with each sharing personal and professional associations throughout their individual lives. Bobby Jones regularly enjoyed the ?relaxed? venue of Ichauway Plantation as well as the other Woodruff residences, and it was under Bobby Jones? direction that the famous Capital City Club birthday party for Woodruff achieved its enviable success.
Their close association is self-evident in the birthday letter from Bobby and Eisenhower to Woodruff.
Bobby Jones was also very close to Dwight Eisenhower encouraging Ike to play at August - it didn?t take much prodding - and regularly helping to develop that ?winning? swing in the President?s game. Golfweek in its December 1999 issue declared Eisenhower as ?Golfer of the Century.?
In hindsight, Bobby Jones, Dwight Eisenhower, and Robert Woodruff were 20th century America?s Three Musketeers, as was apparent in their camaraderie.
Bobby Jones would also make sure that each of his books was duly signed and inscribed to ?Bob? - some of those are in this auction as is the only known remaining Robert W. Woodruff monogrammed golf club in private hands.
