1924 Photograph of young golfer Bobby Jones driving off the tee at St. Andrews and hoping to win the British Amateur. Issued by Acme with their mid 1920's stamp on the back, the paper caption clearly states that he was hoping to dethrone Roger Wethered who had won the title in 1923. There is a later file stamp from 1927 as well. This image was previously thought to be from the 1930 event, but this image now firmly establishes this is a 1924 image that was re-used later by the newspapers. Despite a crease on the far right side, the image presents pretty well overall.
