More quotes by 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 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
Many shots are spoiled at the last instant by efforts to add a few more yards.
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
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
Jack Nicklaus is playing an entirely different game, and one which I'm not even familiar with.
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
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
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
The secret of golf is to turn three shots into two.
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 get as much fun as the next man from whaling the ball as hard as I can and catching it squarely on the button. But from sad experience I learned not to try this in a round that meant anything.
Bobby Jones
Golf is the one game I know which becomes more and more difficult the longer one plays it.
Bobby Jones
Well, I'm glad we don't have to play in the shade.
Bobby Jones
No putt is too short to be despised.
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
I got an extra hour's nap.
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
