Customer Reviews

Well worth it!

This book is impressive. It is packed with fascinating color photos from both the film and Bobby Jones' life. Much more than a biography, it features essays from Jones' friends and people who were involved in the making of the film--from the director to the star of the movie. It is a must have for movie buffs or anyone interested in golf.
