"Bobby Jones and the Quest for the Grand Slam" is one of the most significant books ever published on the world's most influential golfer.

Featuring an array of never-before-seen photographs from Jones's personal archive, this glorious volume takes us inside the personal and professional life of a beloved golfer and the game he helped make great.

When Robert Tyre "Bobby" Jones Jr. won the four major golf tournaments (British Amateur, British Open, US Amateur, and US Open) all in the same year (1930), he became a worldwide hero and the first to achieve golfing's "Grand Slam". "Bobby Jones and the Quest for the Grand Slam" leads us "down the fairway" of Bobby Jones's life and golfing career, from his days as a competitive golfer, through his early retirement in 1930 at age just 28, to his phenomenally popular instruction books and newspaper columns and his involvement in course design.
