More quotes by 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
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
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
The best exercise for golfers is golfing.
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
The secret of golf is to turn three shots into two.
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
