Liked and subbed this great player shouldn't be forgotten, thirteen majors, retired at age of twenty eight years old ,three degrees, practiced law his last two years of competition. Went months without touching a club and usually won the tournament he played. He was unbeaten his last year in golf winning the grand slam in one season. He practiced a little more since that was his goal as he wanted to retire with a great year. He use to give pros two strokes a side when playing friendly matches a reporter ask tommy armour why they accepted the strokes, tommy said bobby was that gd good thats why.
This is the perfect method as opposed to trying to fly the ball to the hole and stop it there. This is a lost art but one that recreational golfers should adopt. Greater margin for error. Just carry the ball to the front of the green and let it roll to the hole. How many chips did he put within 8" of the hole. Amazing.
It depends on the course for sure. Older courses this works wonders, you get to some tougher modern courses where the greens roll at 12, you need to put more spin on the ball sometimes. It's all circumstantial. I will say this technique has saved me around the green.
Jones chipping technique was a game changer for me. Before I had a lot of tension in the hands and arms. Jones technique was relaxed and tension free throughout the swing. I am noticing more often a lot my chip shots are at or near the hole. Great tip!
I had no idea how to play this shot before watching and practicing this technique. I hadn't holed out for twenty years prior to watching this. I chipped in twice last year. "Play it like a long putt." Nicklaus teaches it the same way.
Great instructions apart, he was articulate and we'll dressed. All the golf shoes were nice. Thinking of re-creating some from Allen Edmonds or Alden's.
@@earltptyes with all those degrees he even practiced law the last two years of competition. Retired at the ridiculous age of twenty eight winning thirteen majors and went months without touching a club and usually won the tournament. Forty one percent win rate.
We love these videos. Please keep them coming. So much wisdom and talent should never be overlooked or forgotten.

This video has completely changed my chipping concept ! Thanks a lot ! Bobby Jones is such a brilliant star in the history of golfing ！
Classic teaching. Notice how deadly accurate he is.

Chip&run still used till this day on link's golf. You still see pros do it in the Open, especially at St Andrews with the massive green's

yes, you shouldn't swing any harder than it would take to throw the ball that distance

His feel was supernatural.
beyond, he passed the GA bar without going to law school
@@andrefecteau He actually went to Emory School of Law but passed the bar after only three semesters.
Grip stays put, little hinge of the right wrist, awesome...
I started putting the exact same way before I even discovered these videos. It WORKS.
Feet together, back foot. Little hinge with the backhand. Heel down.
Great instructions apart, he was articulate and we'll dressed. All the golf shoes were nice. Thinking of re-creating some from Allen Edmonds or Alden's.
As well as a degree in law he had degrees in mechanical engineering and English Literature…..eloquence personified!

How accurate are those shots? Great player.
Very accurate, I have the complete set
Question: what clubs did he say he uses at 2:11? How do those translate to the clubs people have today? What’s a mashing iron?
Approximately a 4 iron, mashie would be a 5, mashie niblick a 7, niblick a 8 or 9 iron.
Totally different from modern accepted form
I see a ittle bit of Phil Mickelson's hinge and hold in Jones' chipping style.
I was forced to watch this
