Below is a list of quotes said by the legend Bobby Jones.
“Competitive golf is played mainly on a five-and-a-half-inch course...the space between your ears.”
“It is nothing new or original to say that golf is played one stroke at a time. But it took me many years to realize it.”
“Some people think they are concentrating when they're merely worrying.”
“The secret of golf is to turn three shots into two.”
“Golf is assuredly a mystifying game. It would seem that if a person has hit a golf ball correctly a thousand times, he should be able to duplicate the performance at will. But this is certainly not the case.”
“Sometimes the game of golf is just too difficult to endure with a golf club in your hands.”
“If ever I needed an eight foot putt, and everything I owned depended on it, I would want Arnold Palmer to putt for me.”
