Down the Fairway
by Robert T. Jones Jr. and O.B. Keeler

"Golf without Jones would be like France without Paris -- leaderless, lightless and lonely."
--Herbert Warren Wind

"One might as well attempt to describe the smoothness of the wind as to paint a clear picture of his complete swing."
--Grantland Rice

"A match against Bobby Jones is just as though you got your hand caught in a buzz saw. He coasts along serenely, waiting for you to miss a shot, and the moment you do, he has you on the hook and you never get off. He can drive straighter than any man living. He is perfectly machinelike in his iron play, and on the greens he is a demon."
--Francis Ouimet, one of golf's greatest amateurs

"Down the years people have wondered whether Jones was the greatest of all golfers. Comparison is invidious, for no man can do more than win and Jones won more often within a given period than anyone else has ever done. In his time, Jones was supreme, at match and medal play, to a greater extent than Hogan or Nicklaus have been in theirs."
--Pat Ward-Thomas, British golf writer

"This victory, the fourth major title in the same season and in the space of four months, had now and for all time entrenched Bobby Jones safely within the 'Impregnable Quadrilateral of Golf,' that granite fortress that he alone could take by escalade, and that others may attack in vain, forever."
O.B. Keeler
