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
Image
I got an extra hour's nap.
Bobby Jones

Bad putting is due more to the effect the green has upon the player than it has upon the action of the ball.
Bobby Jones
Image
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.

Image
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.

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.

Golf is said to be an humbling game, but it is surprising how many people are either not aware of their weaknesses of else reckless of consequences.

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.

The object of golf is to beat someone. Make sure that someone is not yourself.
Bobby Jones
Image
Doesn't it show us all that we are silly little boys or fatuous asses to think that we can play golf without making a lot of bad shots?
Bobby Jones
Image
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
Image
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

The best exercise for golfers is golfing.
Bobby Jones
Image
I have never felt so lonely as on a golf course in the midst of a championship with thousands of people around, especially when things began to go wrong and the crowds started wandering away.
Bobby Jones
Image
It is nevertheless a game of considerable passion, either of the explosive type, or that which burns inwardly and sears the soul.
Bobby Jones
Image
Well, I'm glad we don't have to play in the shade.

Golf is like eating peanuts. You can play too much or play too little.
