The Boys' Life of Bobby Jones

We Proudly present America's most comprehensive collection of Bobby Jones golf literature. Bobby Jones' legacy remains in golf's history, as he was a proficient champion, co-designer of Augusta National Golf Course, and blessed with the ability to translate the mechanics of golf through his effective golf tips. Jones' constant companion during much of his illustrious career in the 1920s, O.B. Pop Keeler, wrote The Boys' Life of Bobby Jones after Bobby retired in 1930. Previous to this, the newspaperman had assisted Jones with his biography, Down the Fairway, published in 1927. Chronologically, however, that story slopped in 1926 after Jones had captured victories in both the U.S. Open and British Open. - For The Boys' Life of Bobby Jones, Keeler started from the beginning again and then took it up to Jones' retirement at the age of 28 after he had won the famous Grand Slam.

Bobby Jones will stand forever unique in the world of golf, and perhaps even unique in the world of sport. He remained an amateur throughout his amazing career and found himself on the pinnacle of all golf achievements-The Grand Slam-a feat not duplicated by any other golfer to this day. This accomplishment might have constituted a seat to rest on for the ordinary man but, for Bobby, it merely served as a springboard to launch a myriad of other extraordinary achievements and experiences. Throughout his life, Jones remained the consummate gentleman, observed by his contemporaries to be comprised of equal proportions of courtesy, consideration, humanity, and humor.

The name Bobby Jones brings to mind not only a legendary golfer but also a legendary era in the history of golf. Robert Tyre Jones, Jr. earned 23 tournament victories in a 13-k 13-year competitive period that ended in 1930 when he was just 28 years old. He was the only player ever to carry off the Grand Slam, winning all four majors in one year, and he co-designed the Augusta National course. Jones also set a standard for character and was so committed to fair play that he called penalties on himself, causing him to lose two major competitions. Bobby Jones combines some of the greatest voices in sports writing with photographs so dynamic you can almost hear the astonished crowds cheering Jones on. Close-ups demonstrating Jones's technique are also included. Printed in Italy in six colors, including two eight-page double gatefolds and approximately 150 photographs, this elegant oversize edition is a cornerstone volume for every golf lover's library.

In the wake of the 1929 stock market crash, an amateur golfer began a decade of unparalleled achievement, seeming a ray of light in an otherwise depressed America. Bobby Jones won the British Amateur Championship, the British Open, the US Open and the US Amateur Championship. A new phrase was born: The Grand Slam. A modest, sensitive man, a lawyer from a middle-class Atlanta family, Bobby Jones had barely survived a sickly childhood, and took up golf at the age of five for health reasons. Jones made his debut at the US Amateur Championship in 1916 and his genius was recognised by his inspiration, Francis Ouimet. However, his health was never good, and the strain of completing the Slam exacted a ferocious toll; the US Open, played in July in blazing heat, nearly killed him. Jones fought to keep his fragile condition a secret from a country suffering from the Depression, but at the age of twenty-eight, after winning the US Amateur, he retired. His abrupt disappearance at the height of his renown inspired an impenetrable myth, to this day still fiercely protected by family and friends.
