Synopsis
Bobby Jones is a legendary figure in golfing circles, having won almost every championship by the time he was 25. He is remembered throughout the game as a fine shot-maker, but also as a man of magnetism, courage and intelligence. First published in 1927, this autobiography was written in collaboration with O.B.Keeler, Jones' right-hand man on the tournament circuit. It focuses particularly on some of the key moments in Jones' playing career, describing the successes and disappointments that greeted him. The book is an insight into the sport during the early decades of the 20th century, drawing on personal anecdotes and characterizations of golfing personalities to recreate the atmosphere of the period.

About the Author
Robert T. (Bobby) Jones Jr. was an Atlanta lawyer who also happened to become, arguable, the best golfer who ever lived. His ultimate achievement came in 1930, when he became the first and only golfer ever to win the Grand Slam in one calendar year. He promptly retired from competitive golf, returned to his law practice, and subsequently founded Augusta National Golf Club, site of the annual Masters Tournament.
