Bobby Jones' swing

[muttleee]

Bobby Jones was undoubtedly one of the greatest swingers of a golf club who ever lived. Here's a high speed film of his golf swing. Poetry in motion eh?

Who knows what he could have achieved if he'd played past the age of 28?

Very "Bubba Watson" in the back swing :mmm:

Just read his Wiki page. Quite a player!!

Very interesting - I always thought the players of yesteryear had quirky swings when compared to a majority of the pros today. Although his backswing was a bit unusual, the transition and downswing are superb, very powerful. 280 with a driver aint bad also! Thanks for posting :thup:

Great vid! Thanks or sharing! The cardoon swing vid was good as well!

Agree that is a thing of beauty. The release, impact position and balanced finish are superb. No doubt in my mind if he was around today he'd be mixing it with Tiger and Rory and winning majors.

Bubba's Grandpa!

Love the swing, a good one for all those "over the top" players to watch as its very much on the "inside".

His knees almost touch at the top of the backswing!!

I like this vid of Bobby. Notice how much he lifts his front heel in the backswing.

He still holds the record of winning the Open The British Amature Open, the US Open and the US Amature Open in the same year. He never played as a professional:
