More quotes by 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
Golf is the one game I know which becomes more and more difficult the longer one plays it.
Bobby Jones
The best exercise for golfers is golfing.
Bobby Jones
Some people think they are concentrating when they're merely worrying.
Bobby Jones
Well, I'm glad we don't have to play in the shade.
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
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
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
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.
Bobby Jones
No putt is too short to be despised.
Bobby Jones
No one ever swung too slowly.
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 like eating peanuts. You can play too much or play too little.
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
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
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
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
Golf is a game that creates emotions that sometimes cannot be sustained with the club still in one's hand.
Bobby Jones
Golf is the one game I know which becomes more and more difficult the longer one plays it.
Bobby Jones
I got an extra hour's nap.
