Golf is a game that creates emotions that sometimes cannot be sustained with the club still in one's hand.
Bobby Jones
Image
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
Image
Rhythm and timing are the two things which we all must have, yet no one knows how to teach either.
Bobby Jones
Image
Well, I'm glad we don't have to play in the shade.
Bobby Jones
Image
I never learned a thing from a tournament I won.
Bobby Jones
Image
Some people think they are concentrating when they're merely worrying.
Bobby Jones
Image
Golf is the closest game to the game we call life. You get bad breaks from good shots you get good breaks from bad shots - but you have to play the ball where it lies.
Bobby Jones
Image
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
Image
Golf is the one game I know which becomes more and more difficult the longer one plays it.
Bobby Jones
Image
Many shots are spoiled at the last instant by efforts to add a few more yards.
Bobby Jones
Image
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
Image
Golf is said to be an humbling game, but it is surprising how many people are either not aware of their weaknesses of else reckless of consequences.
Bobby Jones
Image
Golf is assuredly a mystifying game. It would seem that if a person has hit a golf ball correctly a thousand times, he should be able to duplicate the performance at will. But such is certainly not the case.
Bobby Jones
Image
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
Image
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
Image
Competitive golf is played mainly on a five-and-a-half-inch course... the space between your ears.
Bobby Jones
Image
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
Image
Jack Nicklaus is playing an entirely different game, and one which I'm not even familiar with.
Bobby Jones
Image
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
Image
It is nevertheless a game of considerable passion, either of the explosive type, or that which burns inwardly and sears the soul.
