Help Identifying 1933 Golf Photo
1 Attachment(s)
Okay, going out on a limb here since we are right in the middle of a poll about this... if vintage golf is too off-topic for here go ahead and delete it, Leon :)
I picked up a couple vintage press photos recently and one of them was golf. I don't normally do too much golf, but I loved the photo and figured it might not be hard to identify as it has a fairly good view of his face. It is marked April 1933 on the back, but of course the news tag has been torn off. He looks familiar, but honestly, when I look at photos of Bobby Jones, Sam Snead, Walter Hagen, Gene Sarazen, etc., they all look a little like this dude to me, so I'm obviously not good at the identification thing! Any ideas? Thanks! Mark |
Definitely not bobby jones

Definitely not Jones, Hagen, or Sarazen.
He doesn't look familiar to me. |
Kind of looks ike Ben Hogan, but he would have only been 21 in 1933.
|
Looks like Charlie Chaplin to me.

My first thought was Tommy Armour, but on second thought...no.
Maybe someone not known for golf... politician, entertainer, businessman. |

My first thought was Leo Diegel but maybe just because of the hat. I will have to give it some thought. Cool photo for sure.
