Bobby Jones
Some people think they are concentrating when they're merely worrying.
Bobby Jones

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
It is nothing new or original to say that golf is played one stroke at a time. But it took me many years to realize it.
Bobby Jones
No one ever swung too slowly.
Bobby Jones
The best exercise for golfers is golfing.
Bobby Jones
I got an extra hour's nap.
Bobby Jones
The object of golf is to beat someone. Make sure that someone is not yourself.
Bobby Jones
No putt is too short to be despised.
Bobby Jones
