| book description |

Of all the giants of golfâ€™s Golden Age, Bobby Jones was the most revered. His intelligence, modesty, eloquence, and charmâ€”and the fact he remained an amateur throughout his careerâ€”so completely captivated the public that at times it seemed almost beside the point that he was also the best golfer in the world. Jonesâ€™s fame reached its peak in 1930 when he became the only golfer to ever win the Grand Slam and the only person in history to receive a second ticker-tape parade on Broadway. Yet beneath the easy grace he exhibited on and off the golf course, there was another Bobby Jonesâ€”one who through the years battled his volatile temper; the pressure of competition that grew so unbearable he was often left near tears and unable to take any pleasure in winning; and, in the final decades of his life, an agonizing physical decline that robbed him of everything but his dignity. Drawing on scores of interviews, a careful reconstruction of contemporary accounts, and Jonesâ€™s voluminous correspondence, award-winning sportswriter Ron Rapoport reveals the man behind the legend and provides a moving depiction of a long-gone sporting age.
