He was the Master. The Best in his day.

Bobby Jones was maybe the smartest golfer of all time..a true genius !! Won 13 majors by age 29 !!!

People say that his swing was accommodating of hickory shafts and it's length not necessary with today's technology. Maybe so, but Jones had the best swing of all time, IMHO. A true genius.

I agree, Mr. Jones was amazing..

Old school english language is so much elegant back then..

Mr. Jones really knew what he was talking about.

That's how they used to dress: Plus Fours, Neck Ties and Oxford Shoes. That's class!

1:46 perfectly captures my reaction to any golf instruction

Great shot and can go right to a business meeting wearing his tie.

How ahead of its time was this? Wow. Impressive work.

13 majors, his am wins were with some of the best golfers in the world as there wasn't much money to turn pro. Won 3 British opens out of 4 entries won 4 us opens lost one when he called a penalty on himself, his playing partner said he didn't see it, bobby said " i did" later he said you might as well praise me for not robbing a bank.won 5 us ams, 1 British am. Had a lifetime win percentage of 41( yes 41%)He retired at the age of 28 years old, went months between majors without touching a club and passed the bar for law and had other degrees all while playing golf around the world. He was the ultimate amateur, being an amateur is not that you're bad it means you have a love of the game and respect for its rules. There were a lot of great amateur players throughout history, i chuckle when a utube instructor refers to someone not very good as an amateur.

I have used this swing my whole life. I learned it from my Grandfather and now I know where he got his swing!

What a beautiful and rhythmical swing. Effortless!

As good a golf lesson as you'll ever have.

He sure was a master ☘️🙈🙉🙊☝️🦁🐂🦅🌝

That ball flight at the end was so good. As Ben mentioned...very good roll when landing.

Excellent instruction.

NATURALLY GREAT 👍🏽

Long story short. Turn and Pull.

SOOOO different today. You are taught to flatten that wrist and swing around your body and keep the left foot anchored. Lifting up that left heel today would be a no no along with not flattening the wrist. It just goes to show you, any golf swing will work as long as you hit the ball.

I was amazed at how cupped his wrist was.

The shaft dictates the technique. Hickory shafts required you fan the clubface. There was so much more torsion in the shaft back then.

The wrist on bobby at impact was not cupped, he played with what he called straight but no tension in his arms. The shaft is of no consequence, you can achieve great distance with this swing. His contemporaries has said bobby could hit the ball long but didn't because of the long rough and bad bunkers in those days. The also couldn't lift ,clean and place on the green during his playing days.

Pro golfers should be using hickory shafts and persimmon drivers. They can keep the pro v ball. Screw a feathery.

He was playing the new Haskel ball , the first version of a rubber cover with rubber core. This is the first development of the balls we play today .

What a lot of people don't no is Jones was a natural left hander, but played right handed. He played back handed. A direct quote from Jones, " I like to feel I'm hitting a backhand blow, with the right hand catching up with the left only at impact".

Hogan was the player who was left handed and switched to right, he did it because there wasn't a lot of left handed clubs around, bobby was right handed with everything he did, he started golf at age 6, Stewart maiden cut him a set and bobby followed Stewart around the course. He did say it was a backhanded blow and related how hard it was to keep his dominant hand out of the fight as he said.

his left wrist is cocked,or bent,, and yet, still hits them straight.. today's pro's try to have the left wrist flat. and I can see by his left heal lifting up , he takes the club and hands so far back,, I've been a flat foot swinger and know I understand why it limits my back swing.

wow

So I’m a little confused why aren’t more instructors show you videos of Bobby Jones I know Hogan was great I get it but why not Bobby Jones
