Front Cover: Lot 303 Back Cover: Clockwise from upper left: Lots 136, 7, 9, 396 Bond #08BSBGK1794 Dr. Robert Weisgerber The Weisgerber collection that we are offering in this sale is onlypart of Bob’s collection, the balance of which will be offered in our next February 2014 golf auction,that will include clubs, balls and additional books and memo- rabilia. Bob Weisgerber is of the more passionate golf collec- tor individuals, and I would always receive a phone call, after he received our latest golf auction catalog, to just talk about what was in the sale and from whose collec- tion the material derived, not necessarily to talk about any particular item he was interested in bidding on. Bob was an old friend of Bob Kunz and Joe Murdoch, and was member # 128 in the Golf Collectors Society. He ably served on the Museum Committee of the USGA, from 1983 -1993, and volunteered at more than one US Open. Over the years Bob made many pilgrimages to the St. Andrews area in search of golf antiquities and of course attend the GSC shows. Dr. Weisgerber received his BS from West Chester State university, his MA and Ed.D degrees in educational media from Indiana University, and his MBA from Notre Dame. While at Indiana, he held the position of Assistant Professor and later taught at San Francisco State University. He is retired from the American Institute For Research (AIR) in Palo Alto, CA. where he was a senior research fellow and directed the Group for Research on the Specially Challenged, where he focused his research and development primarily on people with disabilities. In 1995 he wrote and published Science Success for Students with Disabilities, a teaching manual. Bob is now happy to see his collection dispersed so that other collectors will have the enjoyment of acquir- ing materials that he so much enjoyed collecting.

  • The Dr. Alister Mackenzie Chronology (2018)
    The Dr. Alister MacKenzie Chronology th The 20 Revision October 2018 The MacKenzie Chronology Project The Project In the late 1990’s Nick Leefe and Bob Beck launched an effort to document the physical presence and movements of the great architect Dr. Alister MacKenzie. That effort sparked club secretaries, historians, architects, professional writers, enthusiasts – in short, a global community of MacKenzie admirers – to share their knowledge. This, the 20th Revision of “The Dr. Alister MacKenzie Chronology,” is the latest product of that collective and continuing generosity, and once again expands upon the previous revision. Why are MacKenzie’s whereabouts important? A timeline establishes a foundation of fact. Upon this foundation researchers can build their narratives of history. Without this fact base, large gaps in time appear, and speculation is the all too-common and unfortunate result - the quality of scholarship is impoverished. The ramifications can be significant - original design features and perhaps entire courses disappear or suffer disfiguration, writings are misunderstood or misinterpreted, attributions are missed or made improperly. As readers, as golfers, and as caretakers of the game of golf, we suffer.

  • “I Play Hunches,” by Gene Sarazen
    14 THE SRTURDAY EVENING POST .Rug ust JI, 19J,s - absontly to myself: "How about a rudder on the back of my niblick ?" The result was a special niblick with a rear one-quarter of an inch lower than-the frout edge of the blade. In other words, it is designed with a rudder like an airpl ane, and its effect was amazing. I don't fear the traps now. I even seek them, as I did on two holes of the 1D32 world's championship match with Francis Ouimet. I mean that I played for the traps while Ouimet played for the pin, and I won both holes, as I fully expected to. I knew, you see, that the pin s were not advantageously placed; that Ouimet's pitch shots wouldn't hold the green, but would roll over into the rough. And I knew tha,t I could chip nearer to the cup from the sand than he or anybody else could from the grass. Nobody knows it, but when I threw away .Ils T old to Davis J.

  • Bobby Jones Envisions Augusta National Golf Club
    Bobby Jones Envisions Augusta National Golf Club Back in the day when American newspapers cost a nickel, and the price of Southern cotton was still noted at the top of the front page, Bobby Jones had an idea. What if he, and a group of other individuals, bought Berckmans' Place - near Augusta, Georgia - and turned this horticultural paradise of rolling hills, fruit trees and gorgeous flowers (like azaleas) into a stunningly beautiful golf course? What if they hired Dr. Alister MacKenzie - a world-famous course architect - to transform farm land into golf greens? While America was still gripped by the Great Depression, and the U.S. Federal Reserve was deciding whether to loan Germany additional funds (beyond the $100 million loan which was already outstanding), Jones and his colleagues moved forward with their plans. They had an option to purchase the land for about $200 an acre. (Had they waited a few years, it would have cost them even less.) With Bobby Jones heading the project, wealthy Americans contributed thousands of dollars. Although some had been hard-hit by the market crash - like Alfred Severn Bourne, of Singer Sewing Machine fame, who had lost $10,000,000 "almost overnight after the Crash" - other contributors had cash-on-hand for such a venture. The result of their efforts? Augusta National Golf Club which annually hosts "The Masters," one of golf's most prestigious events. The first Masters took place in 1934 (when it was called the "Augusta National Invitational"). Horton Smith won. To this day, the event still includes many amateurs (which was very important to Bobby Jones).
