More quotes by Bobby Jones
No one ever swung too slowly.
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
I got an extra hour's nap.
Bobby Jones
Rhythm and timing are the two things which we all must have, yet no one knows how to teach either.
Bobby Jones
Competitive golf is played mainly on a five-and-a-half-inch course... the space between your ears.
Bobby Jones
I have never felt so lonely as on a golf course in the midst of a championship with thousands of people around, especially when things began to go wrong and the crowds started wandering away.
Bobby Jones

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

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
Well, I'm glad we don't have to play in the shade.
Bobby Jones
Golf is like eating peanuts. You can play too much or play too little.
Bobby Jones
The object of golf is to beat someone. Make sure that someone is not yourself.
Bobby Jones
Some people think they are concentrating when they're merely worrying.
Bobby Jones
You swing your best when you have the fewest things to think about.
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
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 had held a notion that I could make a pretty fair appraisal of the worth of an opponent simply by speaking to him on the first tee and taking a good measuring look into his eyes.
Bobby Jones
No putt is too short to be despised.
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.
