Bobby Jones on Golf: The Classic Instructional by Golf's Greatest Legend Paperback - 1992

by Robert Tyre Jones

A player who never turned pro but held one or more major titles every year of his 15-season competitive career, Bobby Jones was the most famous amateur golfer ever to play the game. In the 20 years since his death, America has witnessed an explosion of enthusiasm for golf. Now comes a reissue of Jones' classic instructional, out of print and unavailable for two decades. Line drawings.


From the publisher

From the best amateur golfer ever to play the game comes an essential instructional guide for any golfer. Bobby Jones is universally acknowledged to have been the best amateur golfer of all time. He held at least one major title every season of his career and electrified the world with his 1930 Grand Slam, winning all four major amateur and open tournaments in the United States and Great Britain. Bobby Jones on Golf is a distillation of all that he learned about playing golf over more than half a century of devotion to amateur competition. Drawing both on the practical and the theoretical, this classic work addresses such topics as the feel of the club, placing the feet, using the body, and cultivating the proper backswing. Like the author's impeccable reputation, Bobby Jones on Golf is as timeless as the game itself.

First line

With much satisfaction I often recall a shot I played at Scioto, in Columbus, Ohio, during the last round of the 1926 National Open Championship.

From the jacket flap

By the best amateur golfer ever to play the game, this is essential instructional reading for the millions who have taken up golf during the 20 years this marvelous, timeless book has been out of print and unavailable.
B & W line drawings.
