Front Cover: Lot 362 Back Cover: Clockwise from upper left: Lots 406, 57, 293, 150 Bond # 14425383 BLACKHEATH GOLFER 1. Abbott, LemueL FrAncis. “The Blackheath Golfer”. Hand-tinted mezzotint of William Innes and caddy, engraved by Valentine Green, from the painting by Lemuel Francis Abbott. Lower margin reads: “To the Society of Goffers at Blackheath. This Plate is with just Respect. Dedicated by Their most humble Servant, Lemuel Francis Abbott.” Image size: 59.5x43.3 cm. (23½”x17”); plate impression size: 68.2x47 cm. (26¾”x18½”). Print laid down on old backing board. Second Generation Issue, printed by R. Powell of London. London: L.F. Abbott, [c. mid-1800’s] William Innes (1760-1803) was captain of the Society of Golfers at Blackheath, now known as Royal Blackheath. It was the first golf print ever published. Originally issued in black & white and later hand-tinted, it is difficult to establish the first issue, though less than 15 are known to exist. The quality of the paper leads us to believe that this was printed in the early nineteenth century, which is close to the time of the original (1790), and is thus extremely rare. The top margin has the publisher imprint of: R. Powell of London. On the verso of the old board backing, there is old clear tape on the bottom and side edges (causing some darkening, but not affecting the print), but the top edge has acid-free archival white tape (which is easy to remove). See Olman’s Guide to Golf Antiques, p. 133; and Olman & Olman’s The Encyclopedia of Golf Collectibles, pp. 145 & 150. Couple small repaired tears to top margin, occasional faint foxing to margins, slight toning to outer edges; image itself clean and bright with no wear; still a near fine issue of this early and important golfing image.

Moderately worn edges, especially worn at spine where there are long closed tears, repaired at verso with tape; light shelf wear to volume, evidence of a removed staple from covers (and jacket panels); hinges cracked; good. (100/150) 3. AikmAn, GeorGe. A Round of the Links: Views of the Golf Greens of Scotland. Introduction by Michael Hobbs.

H3T 2AT [email protected] The Burden of Glory: Competing for Non-monetary Incentives in Rank-order Tournaments Abstract In an environment in which elite, highly-paid professionals compete for non-monetary rewards, we find evidence of underperformance. Our analysis suggests that choking under pressure from high-stakes non-monetary rewards is behind the underperformance. This implies that high stakes non-monetary rewards can create meaningful pressure on individuals and lead to worse performance, a distinct issue that has yet to be adequately examined. These findings come from an examination of the behavior of top US golfers competing to earn a place on the US Ryder Cup team via their performance in PGA Tour tournaments with differing allocations of Ryder Cup qualifying points. Keywords: Competition, non-monetary incentives, high stakes, choking, performance, risk-taking, intimidation The Burden of Glory: Competing for Non-monetary Incentives in Rank-order Tournaments Abstract: In an environment in which elite, highly-paid professionals compete for non- monetary rewards, we find evidence of underperformance.
