Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Acclaim for The Immortal Bobby "Just when you think there is nothing new to be said or written on the subject of Bob Jones, Ron Rapoport comes along and proves that theory completely untrue. The Immortal Bobby is wonderfully reported and superbly written." --John Feinstein, author of A Good Walk Spoiled and Caddy for Life "The story of Bobby Jones's singular life is one of the most fascinating in sports history. Ron Rapoport's thoughtful, graceful style is well suited to telling that story." --Bob Costas, broadcaster, NBC Sports and HBO Sports "Beyond the grainy newsreels and the confetti falling on Broadway and Peachtree Street, there was an essential Bobby Jones, and Ron Rapoport reveals him splendidly in a portrait as graceful as the man. There's more here than Grand Slam 1930--the jangling nerves and self-doubt, the towering modesty in response to fame, the complexity of an Atlanta patrician, a life richly lived." --Gary M. Pomerantz, author of Where Peachtree Meets Sweet Auburn "The skills of writing and reporting that fans of Ron Rapoport, like me, have come to expect from him over the years--candor, thoughtfulness, insight, perspective, humor--are once again demonstrated and illuminated in The Immortal Bobby. It is an important book about an important sports figure that, typically for Rapoport, goes beyond the confines of sports and fits firmly in the context of our culture." --Ira Berkow, sports columnist and author of Red: A Biography of Red Smith "Here is Bobby Jones as you've never seen him, almost fearful in the fires of competition, and Ron Rapoport shows us how that man became a legend." --Dave Kindred, coauthor (with Tom Callahan) of Around the World in 18 Holes
Book Synopsis East Lake Golf Club by : Sidney Matthew
Download or read book East Lake Golf Club written by Sidney Matthew and published by Arcadia Publishing. This book was released on 2015-08-31 with total page 128 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: East Lake Golf Club was heralded as "one of the finest in the United States" when its first holes were completed in 1907. Bobby Jones called East Lake his home course, as did Alexa Stirling, Watts Gunn, and Charlie Yates. It flourished in the early 1900s as the Atlanta Athletic Club's country club. However, as Atlanta's population shifted to the northern suburbs, East Lake suffered, and in the mid-1960s the AAC sold the property and moved to Johns Creek. In the 1990s, developer Tom Cousins stepped in to restore East Lake. Today, the historical East Lake Golf Club is again considered among the finest courses in the United States and is host to tournament play. The motto adopted at its rebirth rings true: "Golf with a Purpose."

Book Synopsis Making the Masters by : David Barrett
Download or read book Making the Masters written by David Barrett and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2012-03-21 with total page 272 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Contested the second weekend in April each year since 1934, the Masters is the world’s most prestigious golf tournament and most-watched tournament on television. Tickets are in such demand that even the waiting list is closed, and players value the title above all others. In Making the Masters, award-winning golf writer David Barrett focuses his attention on how the Masters was conceived, how it got off the ground in 1934, and how it fully established itself in 1935. The key figure in the tournament’s creation and success was Bobby Jones, who was a living legend after winning the Grand Slam in 1930 and immediately retiring at the age of twenty-eight. He went on to found Augusta National and sought a high-profile tournament for his new course. But nearly as important was Clifford Roberts, a banker friend of Jones who not only embraced Jones’s vision but became his right-hand man in working to bring that vision to reality. Barrett explores how Jones and Roberts built the Masters from scratch, creating a golf institution embellished by the often surprising details of what that entailed as they were trying to establish a golf club and golf tournament in tough economic times. It also vividly chronicles the events of the 1934 and 1935 Masters, with Gene Sarazen’s spectacular victory in 1935 providing the climax. Set against the backdrop of golf, and America, in the 1930s, the book provides an informative and entertaining read for fans of the Masters and students of golf history.

Book Synopsis The Bobby Jones Way by : John Andrisani
Download or read book The Bobby Jones Way written by John Andrisani and published by Harper Collins. This book was released on 2011-04-19 with total page 127 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Lessons From the Master After making golf history by winning the 1930 Grand Slain and having won thirteen of the twenty-seven major championships he entered, Bobby Jones retired at the tender age of twenty-eight-the most dominant player of his generation. Even in the Tiger Woods era, the legend of Bobby Jones lives on and continues to guide future generations of golfers. In The Bobby Jones Way, acclaimed golf writer John Andrisani analyzes Jones's powerful, near perfect swing and flawless execution to show you, regardless of your level of play, how you can benefit from insights into Jones's driving, pitching, chipping, and putting techniques. After watching countless hours of footage showing Jones swinging the club, and through interviews with Jim McLean and other top-rated instructors, Andrisani was able to break the code and make new discoveries about Jones's unique method. The Bobby Jones Way includes fully illustrated instructional insights that go far beyond the elements of the swing and thus will serve as your guidebook to improvement. The book also traces Jones's learning process and teaches you how to hit creative shots, including Jones's bread-and-butter supercontrolled power draw, and provides you with techniques to save vital strokes. Andrisani also looks at what was so special about Jones's course-management skills, and teaches you how to cure swing and shot-making problems on the practice tee as Jones did, so you can become a more complete player and enjoy the game more.
