CALIFORNIA STATE AMATEUR GOLF CHAMPIONSHIP. Circa 1932. 22x14 inches. Condition B+: pinholes in corners; some crayon writing in image. Printed on card. Silk screen. One in a series of early posters promoting the Pacific Telephone and Telegraph company, highlighting many different aspects of life that could be facilitated by using a telephone. At the begining of the 20th century, amateur golf competitions were extremely popular. So much so that Samuel F. B. Morse, who founded Pebble Beach, set out to steal the California State Amateur competition by building a more challenging and more beautiful course. He clearly was successful as the Tournament has been held at Pebble Beach ever since 1920.
