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 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.
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.
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
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.
He really hangs on his left side at the top of his swing like J M Olazabal. He seemed to be open with his shoulders at address and there is a bit of riding his shoulders from the top which means he is very slightly coming over the top. He used his hips really well though. Wonderful swing he had! His swing us Genesis for the modern swing. Snead and Hogan took it a step further and Tiger took swing mechanics to the limit!
all the key positions are the same - the lag and the body positions and the release create a lot of power. But mainly the timing and either as a result of or management of the amazing lag.
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.
@@dennisobrycki4029 No one could drain a set of balls like that lady. Ahhh....sweet Louise. I sent many a hot lunch down her gullet. Beautiful gal. RIP sweetheart.
Not just the swing ….but the clothes they were wearing …..they had such few clubs …..the same game in name only …. There should be a charity event that the modern players replicate the game to respect the founder players .
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 👏
What a beautiful easy swing. What a lovely tempo. So much better to watch than the modern bombers who look like something’s about to burst on every full swing!
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.
