The 150th birth anniversary of Jersey golfer, Harry Vardon, will be celebrated with six stamps, a Miniature Sheet and a souvenir coin to be issued by Jersey Post on 9 July 2020. Find out more and celebrate the stamp launch…
Born in Jersey on 9 May 1870, Vardon’s career extended to almost forty years, throughout which he won a record of 62 major golf tournaments. He popularised the overlapping grip, a technique that became known as the Vardon Grip and is used by many golfers to this day.
The stamps and Miniature Sheet feature photographs of Harry Vardon throughout his career.
In addition to the stamps and Miniature Sheet, Jersey Post will be issuing 150 strictly limited edition souvenir coins.
