Vintage Golfer | Bobby Jones

February 11, 2009 by JP

No one has ever looked as good on the golf course as the legendary Bobby Jones.

~*~

The highest degree of excellence typically carries with it a high price. Even a casual glance at Jones’ achievements in golf might give the impression that he must have done little else with his time. Actually, quite the opposite was true. Even when he was playing his best golf at the pinnacle of his career, Jones never regarded golf as anything more than what it was-just a game. Later in life he would reflect on his priorities saying, “My wife and my children came first; then my profession (by this he meant his legal profession, not golf); finally, and never in a life by itself, came golf.”

~*~

“Competitive golf is played mainly on a
5 1/2″ course, the space between your ears.”  –Bobby Jones
