Originally published in 1927, Bobby Jones's Down the Fairway has become what Sports Illustrated calls "an incontestable classic." Part memoir, part golf instructional, part golf history-and including wonderful vintage photographs-Down the Fairway is a must read for all who care about this most fascinating sport. Amazingly, Bobby Jones-along with sports journalist O.B. Keeler-wrote this book when he was only 24 years old. His thinking was that, having just become the first golfer ever to win both U.S. and British Open titles in one year (1926), he would never perform at such a high level again. It seemed a good time, then, to tell his story. In an age of big money, lucrative endorsements, TV contracts, and pouting millionaires, this ernest volume comes as a breath of fresh air. Infused with Jones's deep knowledge of and pure passion for the game, it evokes a long-ago time when an amateur could be the best in the world.

Anyone who wants a personal, thoughtful view of golf in the early days "must read" Down the Fairway with Bobby Jones. I've recommended the book to several of my students and all have thanked me. ..."Hickory Players" will love this book, perhaps even more. ...In fact, Mr. Jones has inspired me to play a bit of "Hickory" and I'm loving my "new" Wooden Clubs more than I could have imagined. ...Finally, you will discover the "man" Bobby Jones, and know why he is 'special' in the history of golf. ...His ideas and style of play will also make you a better golfer!
