"For
when the one great scorer comes to write against your name, he writes
not that you won or lost but how you played the game." |

Poem
by Grantland Rice that hung in
Robert Tyre "Bobby" Jones Jr. Atlanta law office |
Atlanta's Robert Tyre "Bobby" Jones Jr. is the only golfer in the history of the sport ever to win the Grand Slam: the British Amateur, the British Open, the U.S. Open and the U.S. Amateur. Widely accepted as the sport's greatest hero, Jones was more than simply an extraordinary athlete. He was an extraordinary figure as much for his dignity and grace off the golf course as on it. This website has been developed for researchers interested in exploring Jones's life and learning more about the history of golf in Georgia.
