Good stuff, but all I want to know is this. Who was the first celebrity
that wore his pants below his belly button and made it acceptable? Was it
Clint??
Bobby Jones was arguably the greatest golfer ever to play the game. A
modern teacher would take one look at his swing and tell him to shorten it,
restrict his hip turn, widen his stance and not lift his left heel on the
backswing. Bobby was a part time player who hung up his clubs in the winter
for the most part, practiced law and earned several degrees while winning
thirteen majors by the time he was twenty six. As for me, I’ll listen to
Bobby before any modern teacher. Note around the 6:20 mark he speaks about
pulling with the top hand and arm, the right hand only catching up at
impact. That’s what I mean by Top Hand Golf. It was vital to his teaching
and for my money, he was not only the greatest golfer ever, he was also,
because of his incredible intelligence, the greatest teacher.?
Old school 1 Iron Blade, makes it look to easy……christ.?
Jones was an attorney. No real money in pro golf …then.?
I actually am the great great grandson of The Great Bobby Jones!!?
i love this time…i wisch back,,,,maybe in heaven?
This is the era good fashion sense went out the window.Horrible,horrible
plus 4s.They probably reek of BO and tobacco.?
i wud listen to his instructionz! and look at the equipment he played with,
wood!?
What? You Kiddin? Why, they’ve honored Tiger Woods by giving him his own
water fountain.
Jones retired at 28 after winning the 4 majors in a row – he’s about 29
here. He got $100,000 from Warner Bros for several of these films. – for
serious golfer these clips are invaluable. He is the only golfer to win the
4 major tourneys in one year – Ben Hogan might have done it, he won the
first 3 but the PGA tourney was a week after the British Open, in those
days they went by ship so there was no way he could have made it. Tiger won
all 4 in a row but over 2 years.
Jones could not physically cope with the Tour agenda of the 30s and that
was one of his raesons for stopping. Touring was just too hard on him. His
poor physical condition and health problems would hinder his claim on being
the best ever. Hogan is probably a more deseving example of true Greatness
in all aspects from effort,competition,travelling, dominance over a long
period and returning to dominance after a near fatal and crippling injury.
The Hogan Story was so amazing Hollywood made a film.
you mean like the way that Holllywood treats women nowadays???????
yep at 4:23
greatness isn’t just measured by numbers or years. Babe Ruth was great,
none better. Sandy Koufax was great. none better. Wilt Chamberlain would
push the Shaq around. Bobby Jones just quit in his prime.. he transcended
his sport. that’s why he’s still talked about almost a 100 years later.
Snead, Hogan, and Byron Nelson. all great. greatest ever is a fantasy.
means nothing really.
No.
just a tad of over the top there?
As short as this instructional film is, I wish i had a dvd of it or
something. Thanks for the upload! … Bobby J!
As I stated in my first post, he was not the greatest ever. Its a
meaningless statement. Is a man who beats 5 people better than one who
beats 5 million ?
I think he was the greatest ever, just as Babe Ruth was the greatest ever.
Ali was the greatest. Not an old guy , just an athlete who understands hand
eye coordination. Today’s golf equipment takes anyone who plays now out of
the running. It’s a joke really, but I love playing with it.
he is absolutely right with a long backswing. range has zero correlation to
dispersion.
How times have changed. now they decide who the president is.
yeah right, lol
My dad taught me to swing like this back in the late 60’s. A little twist
of the hips starts the arms/hands in motion. I never liked twisting the top
half of my body against the bottom. The spine doesn’t like to be a helix. A
lot of middle aged guys who have golfed as much as I have are stuck with
back pain. Not me.
i think if Bryon Nelson wold have not quit, he would have been better than
Hogan. He was one tough guy mentally. 11 straight wins with the ‘tour
agenda’, WW II or not, was amazing. Got his money for his ranch and quit in
his prime.
