Down The Fairway Jones, Robert T., Jr. & Keeler, O. B.

Illustrated. 239 pages. This first edition second printing was published in July 1927, the same year as the first edition. Considered by many to be the best golf book of the 20th century.

"The start of Bobby Jones' career to date is one of the most interesting episodes in all sport, one of the most unusual of all careers. The story of Bobby Jones is truth that is stranger and far more interesting than fiction, a saga of youth that could only be sung in the modern game" writes Grantland Rice in the forward.
