More quotes by Bobby Jones
On the golf course, a man may be the dogged victim of inexorable fate, be struck down by an appalling stroke of tragedy, become the hero of unbelievable melodrama, or the clown in a side-splitting comedy.
Bobby Jones
I had held a notion that I could make a pretty fair appraisal of the worth of an opponent simply by speaking to him on the first tee and taking a good measuring look into his eyes.
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 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
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
I got an extra hour's nap.
Bobby Jones
Competitive golf is played mainly on a five-and-a-half-inch course... the space between your ears.
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
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
Golf is assuredly a mystifying game. It would seem that if a person has hit a golf ball correctly a thousand times, he should be able to duplicate the performance at will. But such is certainly not the case.
Bobby Jones
If I had ever been set down in any one place and told I was to play there, and nowhere else, for the rest of my life, I should have chosen the Old Course at St. Andrews.
Bobby Jones
Some people think they are concentrating when they're merely worrying.
Bobby Jones
You swing your best when you have the fewest things to think about.
Bobby Jones
It is nothing new or original to say that golf is played one stroke at a time. But it took me many years to realize it.
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
One reason golf is such an exasperating game is that a thing we learned is so easily forgotten, and we find ourselves struggling year after year with faults we had discovered and corrected time and again.
Bobby Jones
I never learned a thing from a tournament I won.
Bobby Jones
Golf is a game that creates emotions that sometimes cannot be sustained with the club still in one's hand.
Bobby Jones
Many shots are spoiled at the last instant by efforts to add a few more yards.
