Bobby Jones Golf Tips: Secrets of the Master

by Sidney Matthew

Book Overview

In the 1920s, Bobby Jones ruled golf as no athlete has ruled any sport since.

Bobby Jones Golf Tips

This is vintage Bobby Jones, no one articulates like Jones, the peerless expert. He has the ability to write in such a way as to make you "feel" that particular aspect of the golf swing about which he is writing. It is the concept of the "feel" via Jones that enables one to produce a satisfying golf swing and improve one's golf scores. Having said all that, it might be wondered that I didn't give it 5 stars, it is because some of the material is covered in "Bobby Jones on Golf", but I have five books by and on Jones in the hope I will discover a new gem. What this book does have beyond a few newly discovered "gems" is a photo sequence of Jones' classic swing. Not only do I enjoy reading Jones, but I enjoy reading about him, as in "Bagger Vance" and "the Greatest Player who Never Lived" both of which I enjoyed immensely.
