About

In 1930, young amateur golfer Bobby Jones mounted a campaign against the record books. In four months, this natural, self-taught player captured four major golf championships, an achievement so extraordinary that writers dubbed it the Grand Slam. No one has ever repeated it. Author Mark Frost provides an unprecedented intimate portrait of this golf great.

Reviews

"Before Arnold, Jack and Tiger, there was Bobby…the only individual to have been recognized with two ticker tape parades down Broadway's Canyon of Heroes. Frost has written a swift, surefooted account of Jones' remarkable life and career."
Publishers Weekly
"Frost does a fine job of recounting the tenor of the times…Highly recommended for all sports collections."
Library Journal
"An excellent book of golf history."
