Bobby Jones

Competitive golf is played mainly on a five-and-a-half-inch course... the space between your ears.
Bobby Jones
Image
The best exercise for golfers is golfing.
Bobby Jones
Image
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
