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.

More quotes by Bobby Jones
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
Jack Nicklaus is playing an entirely different game, and one which I'm not even familiar with.
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
You swing your best when you have the fewest things to think about.
Bobby Jones
The object of golf is to beat someone. Make sure that someone is not yourself.
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
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
Many shots are spoiled at the last instant by efforts to add a few more yards.
Bobby Jones
The best exercise for golfers is golfing.
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
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
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
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
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
Well, I'm glad we don't have to play in the shade.
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
I got an extra hour's nap.
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
Competitive golf is played mainly on a five-and-a-half-inch course... the space between your ears.
