More quotes by Bobby Jones
The object of golf is to beat someone. Make sure that someone is not yourself.
Bobby Jones

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

Bobby Jones
You swing your best when you have the fewest things to think about.
Bobby Jones
Jack Nicklaus is playing an entirely different game, and one which I'm not even familiar with.
Bobby Jones
Golf is the one game I know which becomes more and more difficult the longer one plays it.
Bobby Jones
Golf is like eating peanuts. You can play too much or play too little.
Bobby Jones
Some people think they are concentrating when they're merely worrying.
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
