Of all the giants of golf's Golden Age, Bobby Jones was the most
revered. His intelligence, modesty, eloquence, and charm-and the
fact he remained an amateur throughout his career-so completely
captivated the public that at times it seemed almost beside the
point that he was also the best golfer in the world. Jones's fame
reached its peak in 1930 when he became the only golfer to ever win
the Grand Slam and the only person in history to receive a second
ticker-tape parade on Broadway. Yet beneath the easy grace he
exhibited on and off the golf course, there was another Bobby
Jones-one who through the years battled his volatile temper; the
pressure of competition that grew so unbearable he was often left
near tears and unable to take any pleasure in winning; and, in the
final decades of his life, an agonizing physical decline that
robbed him of everything but his dignity. Drawing on scores of
interviews, a careful reconstruction of contemporary accounts, and
Jones's voluminous correspondence, award-winning sportswriter Ron
Rapoport reveals the man behind the legend and provides a moving
depiction of a long-gone sporting age.
