Before Tiger Woods, television, and million-dollar tournaments, Bobby Jones was already a global golfing icon, revered and recognized by all. Even now, decades after his passing, memories of Jones burn bright, his legacy and influence remaining indomitable.
Nearly thirty years have passed since Jones's departure, yet he continues to hold the perpetual title of president at the Augusta National Golf Club, co-founder of the prestigious establishment that hosts the coveted Masters Golf Tournament every year.
With accomplishments rivaled only by legends like Ben Hogan, Jack Nicklaus, and Arnold Palmer, Jones's career remains a landmark in golf history. Retiring from competitive golf at the young age of twenty-eight in 1930, he had already claimed four U.S. Opens, three British Opens, and five U.S. Amateur titles - all done without monetary reward.
Jones solidified his status as the greatest amateur golfer, and possibly the greatest golfer ever, in 1930 when he achieved the unprecedented feat of capturing wins in all four Grand Slam events in a single calendar year, including the esteemed British Amateur.
In the book "I Remember Bobby Jones," the story of this remarkable golfer and accomplished businessman is recounted through the words of fellow golfers, journalists, industry leaders, friends, relatives, and admirers of the sport. Jones is depicted as a true embodiment of sportsmanship, seamlessly merging the ideals of "classic" and "golf" into one unforgettable figure.
