Bobby was one of the reasons I got good enough to teach golf for 17 years. I watched ALL of his shows, and have the DVDS. LOL. I also learned a lot from Ben Hogan and of course, the man..Jack, and Tiger. Taught my last 3 private lessons on November 5, 2021. I introduced THOUSANDS to the Game of Life!! Made great money, too! LOL. Life and Golf are Good.
In the 80's only 13, I worked at 3am delivering papers before school to pay for this VHS Bobby vid. Only read Jack, Norman and Bobby. Never had many lessons with Keep the swing simple.
Guys, I have studied Jones for about 2 years. I copied his every move and it did not come easily as modern golf advice poh pah's veterans like Jones: "He's back in the stone age," but gradually I got the idea. His method or madness is very similar to Walter Hagen and the earlier Frances Ouimet and Vardon. Their shafts were whippy, but not all that much different than a fiber glass shaft. Jones controlled with straight left arm close to chest. Here is the big difference,: they moved left knee towards straight right knee almost touching on back swing which allowed the shoulders and hips to turn plenty on top of right leg. All weight is on ankles and torso is quiet upright. All clubs go high and the woods and driver all go past parallel and slightly to right of target like John Daley. The hands are very wristy, almost loose. At the top the left leg moves towards target giving the unwinding spark for the downswing which comes down inside with right elbow close and through the back of the ball like clockwork. The left foot does not slide past original stance mark; it stands tall at impact with head behind ball and then the big high finish. Once you get it, it gives you amazing control and a wonderful crisp pop! I'm 71 years old and the swing is easy on the body!
Been watching the easiest Swing in Golf as a senior I was starting to struggle with the modern way of teaching that swing I've been watching and learning reminds of this great man's swing loose and free poetry in motion and can play freely with no pain
My dad taught me to see the club head out of the corner of my left eye in the backswing. Younger golfers criticize me for swinging like John Daly. And I don’t care.
What I like about bobby jones is how he explains the game, it's down to earth, no fancy high tech , ego,etc. Most pros get to technical on this sport and the average amature cannot understand and improve, lesson today ...keep it simple and play within yourself .
Love the movie about him it's a great story and that's why there's always a amateur in the masters every year bobby jones was good enough too go pro but didn't believe the game of golf was all about money
So nice to see. Thank you for posting. And he was a qualified Mechanical Engineer I think which I believe contributes to his 1. superb understanding of the mechanics of a sound swing and 2. ability to explain it - the mechanics and geometry of a solid, repeatable golf swing. "Form is efficiency." His balance. Getting deep into the lead hip and keeping his body angles, not getting cramped and coming up and out of the shot. His understanding that, to allow time to get the speed up, he wanted to complete the turn with a fully extended but fluent left arm, pushing back, not picking up, and loose wristed, the key to getting a whip crack, at and through the ball. And all with honesty and humility. He is my favourite instructor. Tom Watson and Jack are very good instructors, but I think Bobby is the one I seem to "get" most. Good old black and white and very basic gear but sometime simple is best. :)
Can U imagine Him with today's Golf Equipment, Diet, & light Weight Training, just how he would've dominated the PGA Tour? Oh, in today's Golfing attire also...just saying folks.... Fact: His Dad did NOT want him playing Golf, & made him to to Law School. He actually became a member of the State of Georgia Bar. Had he focus only on Golf, WoW! His Law studies took him away from playing Golf.
Todays golfing attire is absurd - guys dress like walking billboards, that will look much stupider in 80 years than this film does today. Not sure diet would have made much difference to his game. I'd rather watch and play golf with wooden driver heads over todays absurd big headed drivers - they're like training wheels for golfers and make the game far too easy. Golf should have limited the tech years ago like every other sport but they're greedy and want that manufacturing money. Honestly only kids, senior citizens and women should be using those massive drivers. This film does look pretty old but if you've ever watched the old shell golf matches they're hands down more entertaining than modern golf in terms of the presentation and equipment.
Just imagine how many modern day “swing coaches” would want to change this wonderful swing. A full arc and such a great striker of the ball. How many modern day players would be this good using hickory clubs?
@@FredCDobbs-er4qd I dont buy that. If clubs, shafts and the ball hadnt changed, and thank God they have, there would still be the Jack and Tiger era and they would have been every bit as good relative to the potential of the equipment. Good is good. Just like Bobby Jones' swing would not be the same using modern clubs, it couldnt. Gary Player talks about how the swing has HAD to change since the days of persimmons and balata balls.
These modern day teachers, for example, Ledbetter have killed many a natural, God-given golf swing... watching golf channel and reading magazines ruined my game as well
At the conclusion of Bobby's speech, they sang he's a jolly good fellow, then a long Scotsman started sing. Will ye no come home again, everyone joined in and there were no dry eyes to be seen.
In my search for a lob wedge, my golf fitter found a Bobby Jones club head, which was mounted on a "modern" shaft. That thing was miraculous, especially out of bunkers. Unfortunately, it was stolen and I have never found anything better. After hitting another great shot out of a bunker, I would yell "Bobby Jones!".
This is a pitch for the new talkie actors Cagney and Cook who had just starred in a new mob flick, "The Public Enemy." This established Cagney as the premier movie bad ass. Not surprising since he was directed by the certified hard guy Willie Wellman who flew in the Lafayette Escadrille in WW1. Wellman started out directing and establishing the great cowboy star "Buck" Jones (no realtion to Bob) who was one of the 492 killed in the Cocoanut Grove fire in Boston in November of 1942. (continued).
Just a beautiful golf swing. I am so sick of modern golf gurus. They don't know the game. Listen to the only man in the world that did a calender year grand slam!
The modern day "gurus" have nothing over the old time greats. The swing hasn't changed. I read many of the classic instruction books from Jones, Percy Boomer, Ernest Jones etc. Great stuff 👏
I'm going to be trying some of this stuff. Strikes me that apart from the big hip turn and crossing the line, as soon as he moves into the downswing his swing wouldn't look out if place on the tour today. What an amazing man. Highly intelligent, insightful and communicates his ideas with wonderful use of the English language. Oh and also a contender for the best golfer in history....
13 majors by 28 years old, then retired. Played before the lift, clean and place rules on the green. Yes he was something special. Oh and who else went months between majors without touching a club, 46 % win record for his career. Yes, there's only one bobby jones.
Good is Good, today or in 1931 ! Bobby would have been a winner in any area ! With todays equipment, diet and over all commitment to stay in great shape he would be as good as any of the top players today. The guy still had the best swing I ever seen !
The had a physicist and biomechanics expert look into this. Used to be a UA-cam video on it. Basically jones driver swing speed was close to top two or three on pga tours highest swing speeds. Meaning he would be among the top handful of longest players in today’s game.
Not only a great golfer, but also the very best sportsman, never taking any advantage of other players, even when the fault was unseen by anyone but him.
greatness isn't just measured by numbers or years. Babe Ruth was great, none better. Sandy Koufax was great. none better. Wilt Chamberlain would push the Shaq around. Bobby Jones just quit in his prime.. he transcended his sport. that's why he's still talked about almost a 100 years later. Snead, Hogan, and Byron Nelson. all great. greatest ever is a fantasy. means nothing really.
Bobby Jones played in 31 majors. He won 13 of them and finished in the top 5 27 times. Retired from competitive golf at 28 years old. The man could've won 30 majors
In 1930, Jones bet on himself in Britain to win the pre-Masters Grand Slam (4 major championships). He collected $60,000, which is $918,136.53 in 2018 buying power. No one has ever equaled this. This is far more amazing than betting you would pitch a no hitter or win the Triple Crown and accomplishing it.
Im not sure if it was his bet or someone else but i do know good friends were placing large bets on him and it worried him that they could lose a lot of money.
She's a cutie pie. Did Renee Zelweager must have been influenced by her during Cinderella man when Broddick came home after the fight and she pretends to be a fluezy.
I think he was the greatest ever, just as Babe Ruth was the greatest ever. Ali was the greatest. Not an old guy , just an athlete who understands hand eye coordination. Today's golf equipment takes anyone who plays now out of the running. It's a joke really, but I love playing with it.
Way beyond parallel like Phil and Daly and those were wood shafts and yet he could draw and fade equally. I saw these films years ago and was shocked how good he was and his drives were going 270 yards. He did a film out of bunkers and he would stop the ball to a buried lie and without a sand wedge as they weren't invented yet blasted out shot after shot to a few feet. I was thinking imagine this guy with modern equipment, beautiful fairways, and the balls they use today! Wow! It was like watching Sam Snead in his late 40's hitting 285 to 290 yard drives. Again I was what power.
Jones retired at 28 after winning the 4 majors in a row - he's about 29 here. He got $100,000 from Warner Bros for several of these films. - for serious golfer these clips are invaluable. He is the only golfer to win the 4 major tourneys in one year - Ben Hogan might have done it, he won the first 3 but the PGA tourney was a week after the British Open, in those days they went by ship so there was no way he could have made it. Tiger won all 4 in a row but over 2 years.
@@TMar1961 No, he didn't. He won the US Open, the Open Championship, and the PGA in 2000, then won the Masters in 2001. He did not win the Masters in 2000.
@@TMar1961 Yeah, we all know that he won them all consecutively in a 365 day period, but he did not win them all in the same calendar year. It's not about being happy, it's about being accurate. Your first comment was not.
I stare a hole into the back of the ball through my swing. The same in tennis, never take your eye off the ball, watch it go right into the sweet spot, both sports.
I think it's just the type of person you are and it's not really teachable. I have never focused on the golf ball, the rim in basketball or a mark on the bowling alley. I just conscious of where my target is. People think I'm crazy or lying when I try to explain it. Btw I played 2 of them in college still play a little golf professionally and average 215 bowling. Not to brag just to give some perspective that it actually works but again I think it has to be a very specific individual.
@@chadmichaelmobile4743 Bowling I can understand focusing on the target, but you don't focus on the golf ball even on the downswing? What are you eyes looking at during the takeaway, backswing and downswing?
04.20...Love the backswing is so inside...with the hands over or outside the right shoulder, club comes across line...downswing has little turn of the shoulders out and then goes inside. No 'dropping in the slot' and then turn. So, left shoulder points at ball and the right shoulder comes in behind the ball, head virtually still.
Other than retired at 28 years old was the fact he went months between majors without touching a club then usually winning.. see how many pros today could do that .
Not a surprise that Augusta did not allow female members until 2012. The portrayal of women in this video is very sad. Thankfully times have changed in most places!
If you can forget about the sexism it’s really a great golf video bobby Jones figured out a lot of things that we know now are proven right. Incredible to learn and be proven right by science all these years later
The main thing Jones talks about (although his swing is 'loose' and over long mainly because of the equipment, shaft flex & weight) is that the downswing starts by movement and weight pressure in the lower body, a small lateral shift 2-4 inches, before the hands and arms drop and the body turns through. Nearly every tour pro today has a movement left(still 2-4inches) before their hands, arms, club drops into the 'slot' and then everything turns through with power. This is still relevant today.
@@radar0412 bobby was doing what all the greats did when a young golfer came up. Jack's first time seeing bobby on the course he shanked it, bobby left immediately, he didn't want to hurt Jack . Jack said he was so nervous, he just tighten up.
@@ag358 I heard that story a little differently. Bobby Jones was actually following Young Jack Nicklaus, and Nicklaus started choking as a result. That's when Jones backed away. Classy move.
Yeah cant explain what bobby jones does its just natural . In modern golf terms its all wrong yet all just perfection at the same time. more hinges than a door that god.
It’s also flat as a pancake which like he’s hitting a baseball pitched in the dirt. He perfected it but I don’t know how anyone can say it was the greatest golf swing. For him it was but not for anyone else.
Gary Player commented that Bobby Jones' swing was the all time best. Lifting the left heal, ok. Overswing past the parallel, that's fine. Too many coached today over complicate the mechanics of the swing. The renowned best striker of the ball was Mo Norman. And his swing was against all the current experts teachings today.
Absolutely amazing that that man had that control of the ball with those clubs. I didn't see any grooves on the face of the irons and the shafts were wood not to mention the fact that he was probably using a balata ball. I would wager scratch golfers today, and maybe even pro players, would have a difficult time getting the ball in the air with that equipment, especially that 1 iron. You couldn't hide behind superior technological advancements back then, no, all you could rely on was real talent.....and Mr. Jones had it in spades.
Are you kidding me! To get a golf lesson from the great Bobby Jones. I never knew these gems existed. What a rare treat!!
I got to caddy for 3 years at East Lake. Mr. Jones is my favorite golfer.
I bet the feminist love this film...
_"Take the ball and go over there in the practice fairway."_
Wow. Yeah, they would get skinned for that.
Just think 🤔 true.
Many women just talk to much during any activity.
Who cares.
I didn't get this comment at first. But I get it now ahahahahahahahhahahahashhahahahahahahhahahah when the dude gags her I almost died
It is laughable how good this man was. Just look at he swing... The flow of it. Just. Beautiful to watch!
the shafts of his club were wood. not steel. they required a different ,more dancer's like flow.
Reminds me of Sam Snead's swing.
Those old hickory shafts forced a slower swing speed. I wonder what he could do with today's tech...

He doesn't look at the ball, just concious of its location. That's interesting.
I stare a hole into the back of the ball through my swing. The same in tennis, never take your eye off the ball, watch it go right into the sweet spot, both sports.
I think it's just the type of person you are and it's not really teachable. I have never focused on the golf ball, the rim in basketball or a mark on the bowling alley. I just conscious of where my target is. People think I'm crazy or lying when I try to explain it. Btw I played 2 of them in college still play a little golf professionally and average 215 bowling. Not to brag just to give some perspective that it actually works but again I think it has to be a very specific individual.
@@chadmichaelmobile4743 You understand. They do not.
I found that very interesting. All teaching pros have told me never take your eye off the ball.
@@chadmichaelmobile4743 Bowling I can understand focusing on the target, but you don't focus on the golf ball even on the downswing? What are you eyes looking at during the takeaway, backswing and downswing?
had to laugh at the casual sexism in the video.. just shut the woman up and put her somehwhere out of harms way lol. Golf hasn't really changed much
MDOY79 lol I know hahaha shut that dumb bitch up!
+MDOY79 The word GOLF means...Gentlemen Only Ladies Forbidden. This is very true, and no bullshit.
Have any of you shitholes ever heard of WPGA. Plus this bitch is so overdone
Liam O'Hara
Yes, "shitholes" that is how you view every man.
+Analyzingfunny no. That's just how I viewed the fellows in this stupid comment link
This full dvd is available from Amazon. It's wonderful
Damn all that lag....... Man super buttery !
04.20...Love the backswing is so inside...with the hands over or outside the right shoulder, club comes across line...downswing has little turn of the shoulders out and then goes inside. No 'dropping in the slot' and then turn. So, left shoulder points at ball and the right shoulder comes in behind the ball, head virtually still.
Jones was amazing, such a beautiful swing, he makes it look so effortless and easy, the mark of greatness.
I checked out the comments for insecure snowflakes. I was not dissappointed.
Bagger Vance brought me here
Most amazing fact: Bobby Jones NEVER competed as a professional.
more amazing he retired at 28
Other than retired at 28 years old was the fact he went months between majors without touching a club then usually winning.. see how many pros today could do that .
There was little money in professional golf in that time. Many pros made their money hustling matches outside tournament golf.
Cagney's also studying Jones' accent. "I may need that someday."
James Cagney shut that broad up quick. Lol.
I think this one was more effective: ua-cam.com/video/k4R5wZs8cxI/v-deo.html
Instead of asking Mr. Jones what he thought about "practice " should have dubbed Allen Iverson rant
Not a surprise that Augusta did not allow female members until 2012. The portrayal of women in this video is very sad. Thankfully times have changed in most places!
Bobby hit it after filming !
Yeah he he ahhh still worth studying........
Asking him questions is like asking Leonardo DVinci how he paid. Some things just come naturally to gifted people
his head never moves
Keep that dame quiet
Any idea where this was filmed? Wonder if the course is still there.
If you can forget about the sexism it’s really a great golf video bobby Jones figured out a lot of things that we know now are proven right. Incredible to learn and be proven right by science all these years later
Irene Jasmin app was ongoing fun hmmm townships Alabam day game an sprite fungus clean out Alabam door allow you
The main thing Jones talks about (although his swing is 'loose' and over long mainly because of the equipment, shaft flex & weight) is that the downswing starts by movement and weight pressure in the lower body, a small lateral shift 2-4 inches, before the hands and arms drop and the body turns through. Nearly every tour pro today has a movement left(still 2-4inches) before their hands, arms, club drops into the 'slot' and then everything turns through with power. This is still relevant today.
Oh shut up. Nobody wants to hear any of your over complicated prattle. Golf is a simple game.
Golden Runway simple game that’s hard to play
i think his tilted head position allows him to get into a bigger turn easier.
Best golfer ever
Jones once said of Jack Nicklaus, "He plays a game I am not familiar with". I think Jack said the same thing about Tiger. Lol..
@@radar0412 bobby was doing what all the greats did when a young golfer came up. Jack's first time seeing bobby on the course he shanked it, bobby left immediately, he didn't want to hurt Jack . Jack said he was so nervous, he just tighten up.
@@ag358 I heard that story a little differently. Bobby Jones was actually following Young Jack Nicklaus, and Nicklaus started choking as a result. That's when Jones backed away. Classy move.
Bobby Jones could have cut a hockey stick down and still had spin, Distance and accuracy
It’s amazing how many people, no matter what their status is in our society look up to a great golfer.
I'm lucky. I have a very good swing. I learned as a child, and it stuck.
Yeah cant explain what bobby jones does its just natural . In modern golf terms its all wrong yet all just perfection at the same time. more hinges than a door that god.
It’s also flat as a pancake which like he’s hitting a baseball pitched in the dirt. He perfected it but I don’t know how anyone can say it was the greatest golf swing. For him it was but not for anyone else.
Get that goofy broad off the set!
Bobby would say your grip should be only be as strong as shaking a woman's hand.
"Now when I pull out the long irons" *proceeds to pull out a 1 iron when my longest iron is a 4*
Gary Player commented that Bobby Jones' swing was the all time best.
Lifting the left heal, ok. Overswing past the parallel, that's fine.
Too many coached today over complicate the mechanics of the swing.
The renowned best striker of the ball was Mo Norman. And his swing was against all the current experts teachings today.
Discipline and ease at once. All the tension is in his jaw, like they were wired shut.
This video really shows how women were treated in the past. They were almost like children. "Let the men talk."
Relax, will ya? It was a movie.
Sociologists have a term for that historical period. "The good old days."
7:20 Bubba Jones
Such an elegant swing!
But I am having trouble with that neckties and trousers shoved into socks. 😁
Absolutely amazing that that man had that control of the ball with those clubs.
I didn't see any grooves on the face of the irons and the shafts were wood not to mention the fact that he was probably using a balata ball.
I would wager scratch golfers today, and maybe even pro players, would have a difficult time getting the ball in the air with that equipment, especially that 1 iron.
You couldn't hide behind superior technological advancements back then, no, all you could rely on was real talent.....and Mr. Jones had it in spades.
