Description

Sarazen assesses opponents, then concludes: “Of all the accomplishments I have experienced...I would still have to say that one of the greatest moments for me was watching Neil Armstrong walk on the moon.”

Limited edition (#34/100) souvenir typescript, 8.5 x 11, entitled “The Squire,” signed in blue-black ink at the conclusion. It reads, in part: “I have had the pleasure of playing with a lot of great golfers. I toured with Babe Didrikson Zaharias for a while. Enjoyed playing with Bobby Jones for he always made me feel like I was playing with a friend. Tommy Armour had the best pair of hands in American golf. Ben Hogan was the most merciless player of all modern golfers and Arnold Palmer was most dangerous when he was on the ropes and ready to be counted out. In 1973 at the age of 71 I hit a hole-in-one at the British Open and then retired from tournament golf. I continue to go to the Masters each year. As long as I’m alive, I’ll come up there. Of all the accomplishments I have experienced…I would still have to say that one of the greatest moments for me was watching Neil Armstrong walk on the moon.” In fine condition. R&R COA.
