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.

More quotes by Bobby Jones
Golf is the one game I know which becomes more and more difficult the longer one plays it.
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
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
The object of golf is to beat someone. Make sure that someone is not yourself.
Bobby Jones
The best exercise for golfers is golfing.
Bobby Jones
No putt is too short to be despised.
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
Golf is a game that creates emotions that sometimes cannot be sustained with the club still in one's hand.
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
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
Well, I'm glad we don't have to play in the shade.
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
Rhythm and timing are the two things which we all must have, yet no one knows how to teach either.
Bobby Jones
I never learned a thing from a tournament I won.
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
Jack Nicklaus is playing an entirely different game, and one which I'm not even familiar with.
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
You swing your best when you have the fewest things to think about.
Bobby Jones
No one ever swung too slowly.
Bobby Jones
