Inscribed by Cotton to Henry A. Hurst, adding that the book was "sent with the compliments of Clifford Roberts".
An interesting joining of three golf aficionados. Cotton was the leading British player of his generation, winning the Open Championship (aka the British Open) three times and finishing in the top-10 on 17 occasions. The European Tour Rookie of the Year award is named after him.
Clifford Roberts was the co-founder (along with Bobby Jones) of the Augusta National Golf Club, serving as its chairman from 1931 through 1976. Two years after the foundation, Roberts and Jones started the Masters Tournament.
