How Good Was Bobby Jones Actually?

🔴 The INSANE Prime of Tiger Woods ▶https://youtu.be/vcVEXbpBH0Q

1913 U.S. Open winner Francis Ouimet said of Jones, "In the 1920's I still had a creditable game of golf, but Jones would give two holes per side and he still annihilated me. You have no idea how good he was!"

His books are wonderfully elegant and interesting. The other guy, very nearly as great--nearly forgotten--but just as interesting was Walter Hagen.

13 major wins in 21 majors played. He is the best there's ever been to this point, even better than Jack and Tiger.

“Very few players will hit par before hitting puberty” More like very few players will ever hit par. Period!

In 1930, Jones played in a few 'tuhnaments' to ready his game fer his attempt at da Slam, which he planned and mapped out in late 1929. One of those 'tuhnaments' was the Southeastern Open, a professional event, played at Augusta Country Club, and Forest Hills, a famous old Donald Ross I grew up on, and at one pernt in time, owned the course record of 64 at. In said aforementioned 'tuhnament' which featured Horton Smith, who won two out of the first three Masters tuhnaments, Jones won by THIRTEEN SHOTS. It was a 72 hole event, 36 at each course. Him was quoted as saying "it was the best golf I played that year." Easily the best golfer in the history of the game.....as a PART TIMER. In those eight years you mentioned, he won 4 U.S. Opens, three British Opens, a British Amateur, and FIVE U.S. Amateurs. Keep in mind the fact that he didn't cross the pond EVERY year to compete in Britain. It truly is staggering. Whilst going to three different colleges, starting a family and practicing law. Three years to finish a four year degree at Georgia Tech, same ting at Harvard, only three SEMESTERS of school required to pass the bar. B.M.F'er.

great video

Im sure this video touches on the fact that Bobby didn't touch a club for months and then went out a won a major, he earned degrees and won majors and practiced law while playing. In 1929 he entertained the notion if winning all four championships. So he tuned up for the season with a couple southern tournaments, as one person already commented Bobby won the se tournament by thirteen strokes and could have been more he was up by eighteen ,there was a slow down in play and lost concentration double bogey last few holes to win by 13, which was crazy in those days with that equipment, bobby said ty cobb gave him a dressing down for not stepping on their neck, Bobby couldn't tell ty he lost concentration ty would've really got him. After climbing mt Everest of golf he retired at the ripe old age of twenty eight years old.

Hey Golf Plus, I just watched your video and I must say that it was really informative and well-made. I was wondering if I could help you edit your videos and repurpose your long videos into highly engaging shorts? I can also make high CTR thumbnails for your channel
