Bobby Jones the first
Great American golfer
He was a hero
Of the "Golden Age of sports"
At the age of fourteen
He won the first of
his five U.S. Amateur championships
When Jones won the grand slam
In 1930, the U.S. Amateur
was the last major of the season
The Long putt on the last hole
Went in and all 18,000 fans
Around the green and in the fairway
All ran towards Bobby to congratulate
Him in his accomplishment
Jones had a picture perfect golf swing
He modeled his swing after Steward Maiden
After Bobby snuck out to watch
Him play, he would go home and
Practice as a young child
Bobby's career was a big bad bang
He finished with fifteen major victories
Jones later went on
To find Augusta National Golf Club
The only course where the Masters is played
One of the greatest tournaments in
America!
