An original color photograph, 4½x3, picturing Ford, Hope and other golfers at
the tournament, has been neatly affixed to the cover. GERALD Ford
(1913-2006) and BOB Hope (1903-2003) frequently played golf together. In
addition to golf and Palm Springs streets (Gerald Ford Drive, Bob Hope Drive),
they also have their given first names in common. Ford, who was born Leslie
Lynch King, Jr., was adopted by his stepfather, Gerald R. Ford, Sr., and Hope
was born Leslie Townes Hope in 1903. They also had fun joking about Ford's golf
game. Bob Hope once said: "We have 51 golf courses in Palm Springs. He (Ford)
never decides which course he will play until after his first tee shot." Gerald
Ford's take: "I deny allegations by Bob Hope that during my last game I hit an
eagle, birdie, an elk and a moose." Light surface nicks at right edge. Fine
condition.
