More quotes by Bobby Jones
The secret of golf is to turn three shots into two.
Bobby Jones
Golf is recognized as one of the more difficult games to play or teach. One reason for this is that each person necessarily plays by feel, and a feel is almost impossible to describe.
Bobby Jones
You swing your best when you have the fewest things to think about.
Bobby Jones
The moment the average golfer attempts to play from long grass or a bunker or from a difficult lie of any kind, he becomes a digger instead of a swinger.
Bobby Jones
I can play the game only one way. I must play every shot for all there is in it. I cannot play safe.
Bobby Jones
Golf is the one game I know which becomes more and more difficult the longer one plays it.
Bobby Jones
I get as much fun as the next man from whaling the ball as hard as I can and catching it squarely on the button. But from sad experience I learned not to try this in a round that meant anything.
Bobby Jones
Well, I'm glad we don't have to play in the shade.
Bobby Jones
Jack Nicklaus is playing an entirely different game, and one which I'm not even familiar with.
Bobby Jones
It is nevertheless a game of considerable passion, either of the explosive type, or that which burns inwardly and sears the soul.
Bobby Jones
He [the golfer] must have the courage to keep trying in the face of ill luck or disappointment, and timidity to appreciate and appraise the dangers of each stroke, and to curb the desire to take chances beyond reasonable hope of success.
Bobby Jones
Golf is the one game I know which becomes more and more difficult the longer one plays it.
Bobby Jones
Competitive golf is played mainly on a five-and-a-half-inch course... the space between your ears.
Bobby Jones
The 'enemy' in golf is tension.
Bobby Jones
There isn't a hole out there [Augusta] that can't be birdied if you just think. But there isn't one that can't be double-bogeyed if you stop thinking.
Bobby Jones
Many shots are spoiled at the last instant by efforts to add a few more yards.
Bobby Jones
No one ever swung too slowly.
Bobby Jones
Golf is the closest game to the game we call life. You get bad breaks from good shots you get good breaks from bad shots - but you have to play the ball where it lies.
Bobby Jones
The best exercise for golfers is golfing.
Bobby Jones
No-one will ever have golf under his thumb. No round ever will be so good it could not have been better. Perhaps this is why golf is the greatest of games. You are not playing a human adversary you a playing a game. You are playing old man par.
Bobby Jones
