Bobby Jones videos

[Jono]

I got a Bobby Jones instructional video on US ebay. It's in MPEG-4 movie format and the quality is not great, but it's definitely worth watching. It shows Jones hitting various clubs (driver, spoon, mashie, mashie-niblick, niblick, etc :lol: ) and also hitting balls in a dark room with black/white clothes. The white is on various parts of his body to highlight that body part during the swing.

Here is a link to this ebay item:

I got it on a $1 NR auction, so if you wait, the seller might do the same again.

The package has a couple of bonus video files, including a summary of Jones' career and a subliminal video which repeats Al Geiberger's swing over and over.

IMO, just being able to watch Jones' swing from various views is alone worth the money.

Couple of trivia questions:

1) What year did Bobby Jones do the "Grand Slam"?
2) What was his middle name? Starts with "T" ... and it's not Trent. ;)
3) What was the name of his putter?

1) 1930
2) Robert Tyre ("Bobby") Jones, Jr.
3) Calamity Jane - named for the famous woman sharpshooter from the old west
