Featuring an array of never-before-seen photographs from the personal archives of the legendary Bobby Jones tracing back to the early days of American golfing, Bobby Jones and the Quest for the Grand Slam takes us inside the personal and professional life of this beloved golfer and the game that he helped make great. When Robert Tyre "Bobby" Jones Jr. won the four major golf tournaments (British Amateur, British Open, U.S. Amateur, and U.S. Open) all in the same year (1930), he became a worldwide hero and the first to achieve golfing's "Grand Slam." Bobby Jones and the Quest for the Grand Slam leads us "down the fairway" of Bobby Jones's life and golfing career, from his days as a competitive golfer, through his early retirement in 1930 at age 28, to his phenomenally popular instructional books and newspaper columns and his involvement in club and course design (such as the most revered American course, the Augusta National Golf Club). |
