Photograph inscribed and signed: "To Alan Stein All the
Best/Sincerely/'Lighthorse' Harry Cooper/1996". B/w, 8x10. Signed in blue
felt tip. Ink note in same pen (unknown hand) lists major Cooper golf successes
at lower edge. English-born Harry Cooper (1904-2000), who moved to
the U.S. as a youth, followed in the footsteps of his father Syd Cooper, a
prominent professional golfer. Harry, who turned pro in 1923, was at his
death the longest serving member of the Professional Golfers Association. He won
32 PGA tour victories between 1926 and 1942. In his best year (1937), he was
the tour's leading money winner and the first winner of the Vardon Trophy,
awarded to the player who averages fewest strokes per hole. He was elected
to the PGA Hall of Fame in 1959. Only Cooper's win (1932) and runner-up
finishes in the Canadian Open are cited in the ink note. Damon Runyon,
impressed by the speed of Cooper's play and by his nimble gait, gave him the
nickname "Lighthorse." Fine condition.
