Bobby Jones retired from golf at only 29. If he would have played another 15 to 20 years, he would have won at least 15 more majors. He is the best golfer ever. Better than Woods. Much better than Nicklaus.

What a miracle is Bobby Jones. The swing - the man - was a harmony of clock springs, all unwinding in honey and lightening. In my opinion, he is the second greatest player of all time. Second only to Ben Hogan. Although I love Jones' quote about Nicklaus: "He plays a game with which I am unfamiliar". He was elegant even in his speech. What a spectacular specimen of a man... the likes of which most of us nowadays are unfamiliar.

“Don’t fight the ball, let the club do some of the work” - Bobby Jones. Probably one of the best golf tips to ever be given

I gonna start calling my 7 iron "Mashie-Niblick"... Great video!

"accomplishing a smooth leisurely stroke with no suspicion of hurry" Perfectly said. Very interesting the way people used to speak so concisely

Yes and he used a niblick which is a nine iron and he could do anything with it.

The 3D effect of him hitting balls into the air straight for the camera is sheer genius camerawork by all involved! ❤

The man was a genius.

The lack of arm swing and massive arm swing I'm the short game is so different from today's game! I love it, I think it simplifies those shots for amatuers better! Brilliant video from the original GOAT!

Great sportsmen always make their skill look effortless

This video packs so much information into one and still relevant today. 👍 A must watch.

"If you know somebody that's good at something, it's probably been done before" He could play any shot, pretty amazing 👏

Excellent instruction. No wonder he won 13 majors by age 29. !!!!! Extremely fundamentally sound.

The touch on those 5i pitches starting around 3:15 is incredible!

probably the best wrist action i have ever seen. just wow.

This is what makes a good golfer a Great golfer ..Bobby shares kindly all his knowledge in a very clear way ..for me he was the greatest of all times because even without tecnólogy in the design of clubs,balls ,shoes clothes,golf courses he was able to perform very high

interesting how regardless of equipment, golfers still make the same mistakes we were making a hundred years ago and the corrections are still the same as well

Years ago, I read Bobby Jones' classic book GOLF IS MY GAME, which he wrote himself. Golf enthusists often mention that Jones studied law and engineering. They fail to mention that he also had a Masters degree in literature from Harvard University. Why? Because his mother thought that such exposure to the arts would make him a Renaissance man.

His books are well worth reading. Full of great advise and beautifully written. He was a lawyer, but they're still beautifully written.

You could do it too. Close the face of the club about halfway from wide open to square and swing a little harder. It will come up and out. Try it.

Hickory shafts made the golf swing wristy, it was more about feeling the clubhead and getting the timing down with the wrist.....simply an amazing golfer and man in general.

Rodolfo Thanks for uploading this. If this doesn’t get you pumped up to play golf, you have no business walking on a golf course

Crap! I finally found someone who goes against today’s advice and does what I will swear is the best way I’ve ever chipped. I play the ball back, hood the club and push the club out then onto the ball. It comes out with some bite but then rolls out. This is the way and sometimes I’d rather chip than putt and never was outside 3 ft.

Those bunker shots are INSANE!

A golf lesson from one of the Best that ever was...Thanks Mr. Jones and also Thanks for our National Augusta Tournament.....The Master's from the Master.....

What a great game! 50 years of playing has been a gift from God. God is happiest when his children are at play. I hope I can play another 30 years, I'll be 87.

You never go wrong with the basics and Bobby focused on this. I like when Bobby saids don’t try to feel you have to hit the ball in the air, the club will do it for you. Start out hitting pitch shots then increase half swing , then three quarters to get that feel and easy swing. If your accurate on target then try full swing

Bobby Jones is an absolute legend and it’s my understanding that these films were made at Lakeside CC and possibly Riviera and I’ve played them both which to me is pretty cool. Once while playing at Lakeside Bob Hope drove his golf cart onto the 18th green and putted out and the pro simply said “how are you Mr. Hope?”

Thanks for this ⛳️🙌🙏

Not just an incredible golfer but an incredible man. Just listening to him offering instruction with such clarity and purpose is an absolute delight, even if some of his technique is not applicable today (a bit too wristy for sure). And note how he is actually talking to real people and not just staring into a camera with no one else there. Doesn't get any better than this!

I'd like to thank the golfers of the past who noticed that the gutta percha ball flew longer and straighter after it got nicked and scratched up a bit leading to dimpled golf balls that are more aerodynamically made making Bobby Jones genius possible.

Bobby was the original Tiger Woods. when Bobby went over to England they asked him how far Bobby could hit it, and he replied as far as was required, Bobby hit it 300 back then.....way way way longer than others....he was a child prodigy

The shots at the camera were dope af

He's got the power of an alligator wrestler and the swing of a Korean LPGA player.

Mr. Jones was amazing. Imagine him with modern golf equipment..

At first I thought the title said Bobby Fisher but this makes more sense

Exemplary instruction and beautifully explained by a man with degrees in Law, Engineering and English Literature! Compare to the situation today when most pros have a two word vocabulary. Of course he remained an amateur .

28:07 "The Spoon." The great Hollywood actor Warren William in his first speaking part (as "The Husband," uncredited; see IMDB) is getting advice from Bobby.

Those greens roll pretty smooth for the day, not the norm back then. The way he moves through the ball would of worked no matter what era of golf, if he played when steel shafts came around I am sure his swing would have adapted. But with todays lofts a mashie niblick would be a 9 iron and a niblick would be a wedge.

At the end of the day to be good at golf you need 3 things 1. Practice 2. Consistentcy And 3. ( the hardest ) discipline , you must consistently practice the same swing techniques with absolute discipline every time and most ppl just do not have the patience for this because well golf is hard and ain't but a few ways to be really good at it but they all have those 3 things in them.

Could you imagine what he could do with modern irons and hybrids?

Mashie iron? Well I’ve learned something new today.

if you cant do any version of a modern golf swing(which I evidently couldn't, and tried them all) - this swing is the way to go- and its effortless, zero tension, its like ballet or some other form of grace and art. The hips are the key- turn your belt buckle in the opposite direction of where your aiming without any tension(again-the exact and complete opposite of any modern swing). I actually pre set mine a 1/4 turn or so (to the right-for right handed golfer) so as its my first move away from the ball. Straighten your right leg, get on your tippy toes if need be. You can swing flat or upright- strong, neutral, or weak grip-doesn't matter, just turn and spin through the ball. Watch and focus on his hips through all his swings.

Gee, that's keen!

Hence forth my 9 iron will be referred to as a “Niblick”.

I love these old Bobby Jones videos. Class act. Does anyone know the golf course where this was filmed? I know he’s from Georgia, but the background shots of the hills look more like somewhere in Southern California. Wondering if it was near Hollywood?
