Jones founded and helped design the Augusta National Golf Club, and co-founded the Masters Tournament. The innovations that he introduced at the Masters have been copied by virtually every professional person golf tournament in the world.

Jones was the most successful amateur golfer ever to compete at a national and international level. During his tiptop from 1923 to 1930, he dominated top-level amateur competition, and competed very successfully confronting the world's best professional person golfers.^[iv] Jones oft beat stars such every bit Walter Hagen and Gene Sarazen, the era's top pros. Jones earned his living mainly as a lawyer, and competed in golf but as an amateur, primarily on a function-fourth dimension basis, and chose to retire from contest at historic period 28, though he earned significant money from golf after that, as an instructor and equipment designer.

Explaining his determination to retire, Jones said, "It [championship golf game] is something like a cage. Beginning yous are expected to get into it then you are expected to stay in that location. Merely of grade, nobody can stay in that location."^[5] Jones is most famous for his unique "Chiliad Slam," consisting of his victory in all four major golf tournaments of his era (the open and amateur championships in both the U.South. & the U.K.) in a single calendar twelvemonth (1930).

Jones played his final round of golf at East Lake Golf Club, his home form in Atlanta, on August 18, 1948. A moving picture commemorating the event now sits in the clubhouse at East Lake. Citing health reasons, he quit golf permanently thereafter.

"People always used to get them confused, and so when they met, they decided each be chosen something different," Robert Trent Jones Jr. said. To assist avoid confusion, the golfer was called "Bobby," and the golf class designer was called "Trent."^[6]

He was the 2d (and last) to win the U.S. Open and U.S. Apprentice in the same yr (1930), beginning achieved in 1916 by Chick Evans.^[16]

1930: Grand Slam [edit]

Jones is the but player always to have won the (pre-Masters) G Slam, or all four major championships, in the aforementioned calendar year (1930). Jones's path to the 1930 Grand Slam title was:

1. The Amateur Championship, Old Grade at St Andrews, Scotland (May 31, 1930)

Jones made a bet on himself achieving this feat with British bookmakers early on in 1930, before the first tournament of the Slam, at odds of l–1, and collected over $60,000 when he did information technology.^[18]

Jones represented the United States in the Walker Cup five times, winning 9 of his 10 matches, and the U.S. won the trophy all five times. He served equally playing helm of the U.S. team in 1928 and 1930. He also won 2 other tournaments against professionals: the 1927 Southern Open and the 1930 Southeastern Open.

He is the simply sports figure to receive two ticker-tape parades in New York Metropolis, the first in 1926 and the second in 1930. Jones is memorialized in Augusta, Georgia, at the Golf Gardens and the Bobby Jones Freeway, also known as Interstate 520, is named subsequently him.^{[22] [23]}

Sportsmanship [edit]

In the first round of the 1925 U.Due south. Open at the Worcester Country Club near Boston, his approach shot to the 11th pigsty'south elevated light-green fell brusk into the deep rough of the embankment. Every bit he took his stance to pitch onto the green, the head of his lodge brushed the grass and caused a slight move of the ball. He took the shot, and then informed his playing partner Walter Hagen and the USGA official covering their match that he was calling a penalty on himself. Hagen was unable to talk him out of it, and they continued play. After the circular and before he signed his scorecard, officials argued with Jones only he insisted that he had violated Rule xviii, moving a ball at rest after accost, and took a 77 instead of the 76 he otherwise would take carded. Jones's cocky-imposed 1-stroke penalty somewhen cost him the win by a stroke in regulation, necessitating a playoff, which he then lost. Although praised by many sports writers for his gesture, Jones was reported to take said, "You might as well praise me for not robbing banks."^{[24] [25] [26] [27]}

A like event occurred in the next U.S. Open up, played at the Scioto Country Society in Columbus, Ohio. In the 2nd circular, after his opening circular put him in second place, Jones was putting on the 15th light-green in the face of a potent wind. After grounding his doodle during address to square up the club face, the ball rolled a half plow in the wind when Jones lifted the guild head to identify information technology behind the ball. Although no one else observed this motion of the brawl either, again Jones called a penalty on himself, but this time Jones went on to win the tournament, the second of his four U.Due south. Open up victories.^{[28] [29]}

The USGA's sportsmanship honor is named the Bob Jones Accolade in his honor.

St Andrews, Scotland [edit]

Jones had a unique relationship with the town of St Andrews. On his first appearance on the Old Course in The Open Championship of 1921, he withdrew afterwards 11 holes in the third round, when he failed to complete the hole (in effect disqualifying himself), and tore up his scorecard, although he finished the round and indeed played the fourth circular likewise. He firmly stated his dislike for The Sometime Grade and the town reciprocated, saying in the press, "Master Bobby is only a boy, and an ordinary male child at that." Afterwards, he came to love the Sometime Course and the boondocks like few others. When he won the Open at the Sometime Course in 1927, he wowed the crowd by asking that the trophy remain with his friends at the Royal and Ancient Golf game Club rather than render with him to Atlanta. He won the British Amateur over The Old Course in 1930, and scored a double eagle 2 on the quaternary hole (then a par-5, at present a par-iv), by holing a very long shot from a fairway bunker.^[eighteen] In 1958, he was named a Freeman of the City of St Andrews, condign simply the second American to be and then honored, the other being Benjamin Franklin in 1759. Every bit Jones departed Younger Hall with his honor, the assembly spontaneously serenaded him off to the traditional tune of Volition Ye No Come up Back Again? in a famously moving tribute.^[30] Today, a scholarship commutation bearing the Jones proper noun exists between the University of St Andrews and Emory University, Queen's Academy, The University of Western Ontario and the Georgia Institute of Technology in Atlanta. At Emory, iv students are sent to St Andrews for an all-expenses-paid year of study and travel. In return, Emory accepts four students from St Andrews each yr. The programme, the Robert T. Jones Scholarship, is among the almost unusual scholarships offered by whatsoever university.^[31]

Academy, family, career [edit]

Jones was successful outside of golf. He earned his B.S. in Mechanical Applied science from Georgia Tech in 1922 and played for the varsity golf squad, lettering all 4 years.^{[2] [32]} Jones was a member of the Sigma Blastoff Epsilon fraternity, and the Georgia Phi affiliate house at Georgia Tech is named in his honor.^{[ commendation needed ]}

These films were put into storage and were unavailable for decades, but a surviving print was located 60 years later and put into video format for preservation by Ely Callaway, a distant cousin of Jones's.^{[ citation needed ]}

In the early 1930s Jones worked with J Victor East (an Australian) of A.G. Spalding & Co. to develop the start gear up of matched steel-shafted clubs; the clubs sold very well and are still considered among the best-designed sets ever made.^[thirteen]

Augusta National Golf game Order [edit]

Following his retirement from competitive golf in 1930, and even in the years leading up to that, Jones had go one of the most famous sports figures in the globe, and was recognized virtually everywhere he went in public. While certainly appreciative of the enormous adulation and media coverage, this massive attention caused Jones to lose personal privacy in golf circles, and he wished to create a private golf club where he and his friends could play golf in peace and placidity. For several years, he searched for a property near Atlanta where he could develop his own golf gild. His friend Clifford Roberts, a New York City investment dealer, knew of Jones's desire, became enlightened of a promising property for sale in Augusta, Georgia, where Jones's mother-in-law^[twoscore] had grown up, and informed Jones about it.^[41] Jones first visited Fruitlands, an Augusta arboretum and indigo plantation since the Civil War era, in the spring of 1930,^[18] and he purchased it for $lxx,000 in 1931, with the plan to design a golf grade on the site.^[42]

Jones's grave in Atlanta'southward Oakland Cemetery, with putting green, golf game balls, and mementos

Jones played in the offset dozen Masters, through 1948, but only in the start as a contender. By and then, his health at age 46 had declined to the stage where this was no longer possible. With his wellness difficulties, beingness past his prime, and not competing elsewhere to stay in tournament form, he never truly contended at the Masters, although his scores were unremarkably respectable. These were almost all ceremonial performances, since his main duty was as host of the event. His extraordinary popularity, efforts with the form design, and tournament organization additional the profile of the Masters significantly. The tournament, jointly run by Jones and Clifford Roberts, made many important innovations that became the norm elsewhere, such equally gallery ropes to control the catamenia of the large crowds, many scoreboards effectually the course, the use of red / green numbers on those scoreboards to announce nether / over par scores, an international field of superlative players, high-caliber telly coverage, and calendar week-long admission passes for patrons, which became extremely hard to obtain. The tournament also sought and welcomed feedback from players, fans, and writers, leading to continual improvement over the years. The Masters gradually evolved to existence ane of the most respected tournaments in the globe, one of the 4 major championships.^[41]

Incapacity and decease [edit]
