More quotes by Bobby Jones
You swing your best when you have the fewest things to think about.
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
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 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
Bobby JonesConsidered objectively, it is quite obviously a very simple matter to propel a ball with a stick across some specially prepared ground and into a hole which is of sufficient size to accomodate it by a good margin. Simple that is, provided there is no limit upon the time or the number of strokes required.
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
The object of golf is to beat someone. Make sure that someone is not yourself.
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
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
The best exercise for golfers is golfing.
Bobby Jones
No putt is too short to be despised.
Bobby Jones
If ever I needed an eight foot putt, and everything I owned depended on it, I would want Arnold Palmer to putt for me.
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
Golf is the one game I know which becomes more and more difficult the longer one plays it.
Bobby Jones
The rewards of golf, and of life too I expect, are worth very little if you don't play the game by the etiquette as well as by the rules.
Bobby Jones
I never learned a thing from a tournament I won.
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
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
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.
