Bobby Jones Quotes

In golf, the customs and etiquette and decorum are as important as the rules of play Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

It is nevertheless a game of considerable passion, either of the explosive type, or that which burns inwardly and sears the soul Picture Quote #1

The main idea in golf as in life, I suppose is to learn to accept what cannot be altered and to keep on doing one’s own reasoned and resolute best whether the prospect be bleak or rosy Picture Quote #1

Many shots are spoiled at the last instant by efforts to add a few more yards Picture Quote #1

Addressing a golf ball would seem to be a simple matter; that is, to the uninitiated who cannot appreciate that a golf ball can hold more terrors than a spacious auditorium packed with people Picture Quote #1

If I needed advice from my caddie, he’d be hitting the shots and I’d be carrying the bag Picture Quote #1
