Long before there were Tiger Woods, television, and tournaments
with million-dollar purses, Bobby Jones was the most recognized and
revered golfer in the world. Memories of Jones continue to burn
brightly, as does his indomitable legacy and influence. Nearly
thirty years after his death, Jones remains president-in-perpetuity
of the Augusta National Golf Club, which he co-founded and which
remains the host venue of the annual Masters Golf Tournament.Much
like the careers forged by Ben Hogan, Jack Nicklaus, and Arnold
Palmer, Jones's record stands as a landmark in golf history. By the
time he retired from competitive golf in 1930 at the age of
twenty-eight, Jones had won four U.S. Opens, three British Opens,
and five U.S. Amateur titles -- all without ever earning a dime for
any of his triumphs. Jones's status as the greatest amateur golfer,
if not the greatest golfer ever, was clinched in 1930 when he won
each of those three tournaments as well as the coveted British
Amateur. That made him the only golfer ever to win all four Grand
Slam events in one calender year.In I Remember Bobby Jones, the
indomitable golfer and successful businessman is remembered -- in
their own words -- by dozens of fellow golfers, journalists, golf
industry leaders, friends, relatives, and followers of the game.
The portrait is of a man and champion who embodied sportsmanship
and brought the words classic and golf together in one phrase.
