Scope and content
ca. 1953. Caricature of Jack J. Walters, 1953 National Champion left handed golfer. Jack proved the adage "try, try again" and succeeded in winning the title on his seventh try. He had competed as a southpaw since the age of 16. His first try at the national title was in 1937, and he lost in the finals in 1950. During the 1940s, he took time out to serve his country as an infantry sergeant in the Philippines campaign. He was known for his long and powerful drives, but had trouble sometimes with his putt.
