Best.-Nr. 7151Player Gary. Challenge Golf consent form documenting the broadcast-control procedures applied to televised competition featuring one of international golf's leading champions. The American Broadcasting Company form required Player to affirm that he had not received contest questions or answers before their use revealing how television producers formalized participant eligibility and program integrity through signed representations. The document records broadcast compliance through a contestant consent agreement demonstrating the mechanisms by which ABC sought to protect a competition program from undisclosed advance information and providing primary-source evidence for the study of sports television network regulation and performer participation. Player a South African professional rather than a United States golfer won the 1965 U.S. Open and became the first non-American to complete the modern career Grand Slam. Player Gary. Consent form for Challenge Golf. American Broadcasting Company n.d. One page. 8 by 11 inches. Headed "American Broadcasting Company" the document states in part "I have never 1 been given the questions and/or answers in advance of their use on the contest in such program." Player signed in blue ink "Gary Player." The quoted provision shows that the form addressed the integrity of competition programming rather than merely authorizing Player's appearance or use of his likeness. Two punch holes appear along the upper edge. Challenge Golf was an ABC television series built around matches involving Player and Arnold Palmer against other professional golfers; surviving program descriptions identify its 1963 broadcasts as combining competitive play commentary and prominent courses including Pebble Beach and Riviera. The present consent form illustrates how televised sport could be administered through the same disclosure and fairness procedures associated with other contest programming even when athletic play formed the principal attraction. Two punch holes at top; blue-ink signature remains clear and legible with no other defects reported. Very good. A revealing signed document connecting Gary Player's championship career with the regulatory and contractual framework of early televised golf. unknown books

This is an invaluable early book on the history of St. Andrews in general and more specifically on St. Andrews as the home of the game of golf offered here in the publisher's original boards. It is the first work by the clergyman and polymath James Grierson M. D. 1768-1844 and the first printing of the first work on the ultimate destination of all those who consider golf sacred.The final chapter here entitled "The Company of Golfers" gives a short history of golf provides "an idea of the nature of this elegant amusement" and describes how the earliest golf balls called "featheries" on account of their stuffing were made. The book is dedicated to Lady Elizabeth Moncreiffe the daughter of the renowned military leader and politician George Ramsay 9th Earl of Dalhousie Governor General of British North America and later Commander-in-Chief of India wife to Sir Thomas Moncreiffe and a woman of considerable wealth. Grierson had served as tutor to her son Sir David Moncreiffe 6th Baronet 1788-1830 early in his career and apparently maintained a connection to the family.
