More quotes by Bobby Jones
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.
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 like eating peanuts. You can play too much or play too little.
Bobby Jones

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
Golf is the one game I know which becomes more and more difficult the longer one plays it.

Bobby Jones
Some people think they are concentrating when they're merely worrying.
Bobby Jones
No putt is too short to be despised.
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
You swing your best when you have the fewest things to think about.
Bobby Jones
