More quotes by Bobby Jones
You swing your best when you have the fewest things to think about.
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
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
No one ever swung too slowly.
Bobby Jones
The object of golf is to beat someone. Make sure that someone is not yourself.
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
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

Bobby Jones
The secret of golf is to turn three shots into two.
Bobby Jones
One reason golf is such an exasperating game is that a thing we learned is so easily forgotten, and we find ourselves struggling year after year with faults we had discovered and corrected time and again.
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
Jack Nicklaus is playing an entirely different game, and one which I'm not even familiar with.
Bobby Jones
Many shots are spoiled at the last instant by efforts to add a few more yards.
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
Some people think they are concentrating when they're merely worrying.
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
The 'enemy' in golf is tension.
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
Bad putting is due more to the effect the green has upon the player than it has upon the action of the ball.
