I have a 2005 new and still sealed hardback book by Rand Jerris titled Golf’s Golden Age. On the cover, and under the plastic wrap, is a letter to a USGA member who received this book for being a longtime member. The book measures 9 ½” by 11”.
A description;
"Published to coincide with the seventy-fifth anniversary of Bobby Jones's astounding 1930 Grand Slam win, Golf's Golden Age depicts both in text and imagery the era when many of the game's greatest amateurs and professionals were at the peaks of their careers.

Perfect for golf enthusiasts everywhere, Golf's Golden Age celebrates the game's biggest stars in their most striking moments, set against the backdrop of one of the most exciting eras in American history.

And a review;
"Golf's Golden Age: Robert T. Jones, Jr. and the Legendary Players of the '10s, '20s and '30s is a fascinating volume that blends archival photos and informative text to shine light on the less-heralded players of the game's formative, early modern era. Rand Jerris, director of the United States Golf Association Museum and Archives, oversaw the compilation of the amazing black-and-white portraits, which were snapped by the late, great George Pietzcker (1885-1971) and came to the USGA by way of a 1980 donation from the estate of the legendary Bobby Jones. Each of the 52 photos—Chick Evans, Johnny McDermott, Tommy Armour, Leo Diegel, et al.—is accompanied by a biographical sketch. In addition, David Normoyle contributes an extended essay on Jones and his heroic 1930 achievement of golf's Grand Slam.”
