That's a hell of lot for those times lol. Still I probably would have bought them if I could.

Agree, and he won thirteen majors and retired at 28 years old yes 28 during his playing days he received his law degree, started practicing. Law over 2 years before he retired and had several other degrees. Bobby went months without touching a club and went out and won the tournament.

The only other person I think that had a close rhythmic swing to Bobby was Payne Stewart , Man How I miss watching that guy play on tour !!!!

@@shanewilliams1216 Freddie Couples comes to mind.

Donald Trump did it all, Cheats at golf, has good writers, a couple of forged degrees, and to top it off created some of the worst and most unsuccessful golf courses in the world and thought he was good looking and bought all the ladies. This guy could be a Reality TV Star President if he wanted to. *Well, for one term at least* Based on the fact this is how it reads today exactly 90 years from the time when Bobby Jone's put away the clubs, then your logic my Friend is 💯on the up. You've most probably have never been more correct about something in your life. Sir Jones has Trump Trumped here.

@@SoldierPrince How did Trump get lumped into this conversation! Get your head examined! Nobody wants to hear from a jack up democratic headcase like yourself!

Exactly this is about a person who was a damn good golfer plus he's the only one in history to win a grand slam in golf and who's done that lately in golf.

King Ward the best ever

The man was a GOD!!!

SaintsCheat that's y he's the best ever. Retired at 28 went months in between majors without touching a club

Because he was one of the greatest golfers to ever play the game that's how he did it

Last week.

Nah 3 weeks ago, I was there

Well, I actually made this comment two weeks ago when I said 1 week, so we must have both been there. I was the guy yelling at the girl to get back in the kitchen where she belongs!

Ian Rivlin 1931 and1933

Actually, I have a set of clubs from that era. He is using what was then called a "niblick" which became the 9 iron. The 9 iron from my set is 54 degrees or what is now a sand wedge. If I ever replace the shafts in those clubs they will be as good as anything made today.

@@FredCDobbs-er4qd That would be interesting to see, do they still spin okay?

@@bradyhathorn6967 If you are asking about the grooves.....they are in great shape. There is little wear and tear on these clubs. They are Hillerich & Bradsby blades. Not for sale. To me, the shafts are not very good for today's crowd. These were among the first mass produced steel and they didn't have them down pat yet.

@@FredCDobbs-er4qd very cool

My mashie niblick is 37 degrees.

it is

Me too

The club is not supposed to dig into the sand. It is made to glide along on top like a surf board. Don't try to "dig" the ball out. Just "scrape" the sand starting 2 or 3 inches behind the ball. The sand will pile up in front of the club and it is that sand that pops the ball up and out. One of the easiest shots in the game.

@@FredCDobbs-er4qd Jones hits out of the sand look very much like one of his chip shots from the fringe of the green.

@@hughcapetien Yeah, in these films Jones is using a club equal to a modern wedge of 54 degrees. It is not a sand wedge which was not invented until the following year by Gene Sarazen. A wedge will "dig" into the sand and is no longer what is used in the sand traps. Now, it's what is called a sand wedge. This lesson is outdated by the newer equipment.

Jacob Juenger hello ball!

"Hellooooooo Ball!".

Dreama40 goat

I thought the same thing. Truly a great man

Best player ever been in my opinion

Why forget Tiger? That's ridiculous. Bobby, Hogan, Jack, and Tiger were all the greatest of their eras. They're all goats. Let's just leave it there. No need to denigrate Tiger to make your point about Jones' greatness.

Well, not taking away anything from Bobby Jones, BUT, watch the first and second plugged lie shots. The first flies half way to the hole and rolls up to the hole. The 2nd barely gets out of the trap, some 15 feet short of the first shot but then rolls twice as far as the first. Look at the green! It's all down hill from the top of the trap and flat around the hole then uphill just after the hole. It's a set up. Anyone would do well from where Jones is playing the shot.

+mick white The mashie niblick corresponds roughly to a modern 7-iron.

+Michael Maddox A mashie-niblick was often numbered 7 after the makers started giving clubs numbers in the early 1930s, but in fact was more like a modern-day wedge - typically about 45 degrees of loft. The niblick (8) was around 50 degrees, so something like a modern gap wedge. Then you had a spade-mashie (6) at around 40 degrees, a mashie (5) at around 35 degrees, mid-iron (4) at 30 degrees, iron (3) at 25 degrees, cleek (2) at 21 degrees and driving iron (1) at 18 degrees. Over the years the lofts of the 3 iron and down got closer together - typically in 4 degree increments - so by the 1960s a 7 iron was more like 40 degrees, by the 1980s it had come down to around 38 degrees, and today a 7 iron is considered 'standard' at 34 degrees.

I liked the name so much that I named my son Mashi. I hope he is good at golf, otherwise I believe I set him up to be ridiculed for the rest of his life. As long as nobody starts calling him Mashi mashed potatoes

@@FredCDobbs-er4qd Nice gatekeeping.

doubt you are "the" ben wright or you would understand the difference. i play hickory shafted clubs and i will say this. the ball does not go as far, bad shots are worse and good shots not as good as you thought and short game is h e double toothpicks! not to mention sand! get some hickories and shoot under par. come back and tell me "if bobby can do that then"!

Yes, bobby did do that then, he was a golf genius.

inmhstn Gene Sarazan invented the Sand Wedge and Bobby Jones would of had one by the time the film was made. In the book Triumphant Journey author Dick Miller makes note of Sarazen giving a Sand Wedge to Jones. Jones is the best of all time. Very little practice and could handle any kind of pressure.

That is definitely not a sand wedge that he is playing with

@@tomoconnor9606 This is 1931. I think Sarazen invented that club and used it for the first time in the 1932 British Open which was won by Mr. Sarazen.

@@kilmoturtles1 Right. It is a "niblick". At the time, a niblick was about 54 degrees in loft but it had no "bounce" as it was made like any other iron. Sarazen added the bounce in 1932 and the modern sand wedge was born.
