Early Years
"You could pick out dozens of boys at any rcess period who looked more like chamption prospects at golf or any other sport, though it is unlikely any boy you could find in all the world could swing a golf club as the youthful Bobby was swinging it then." -O.B. Keeler, sportswriter
Seven Lean Years
"Golf is the closest game to the game we call life. You get bad breaks from good shots; you get good breaks from bad shots - but you have to play the ball where it lies." -Bobby Jones
Seven Fat Years
"Bobby, you're the greatest player the game has ever seen and when you get that conviction through your skull, you'll win not just one (major championship) but a bunch of them." -O.B. Keeler, Jones friend and biographer
Grand Slam
"This victory, the fourth major title in the same season and in the space of four months, has now and for all time entrenched Bobby Jones safely within the Impregnable Quadrilateral of Golf - that granite fortress that he alone could take by escalade and that others may attack in vain forever." -O.B. Keeler, sportswriter
