| Description: |
| Circular bronze medal, with enameled red cross on one side, engraved with event name and the four player's names on other side. 2" diameter. |
| A very rare Red Cross medal that was given to the four participants of a Red Cross golf exhibition held at Whitemarsh Valley Country Club in Philadelphia on Sept. 22, 1918. The participants were: Charles Evans, Jr. and Robert Jones (Robert Tyre "Bobby" Jones, Jr.) vs. Jerome D. Travers and Max Marston. These Red Cross medals are very rare, especially with all four participants being past and future U.S. Amateur Champions, and three participants are among the five who have ever won the U.S. Open as an amateur. The same medal that once belonged to Bobby Jones is now at the USGA Museum in Far Hills, N.J. Provenance: Travers Family collection. |
| Condition: |
| Fine, and in a case. |
