In the wake of the stock-market crash and the dawn of the Great Depression, a ray of light emerged from the world of sports. In the summer of 1930, Bobby Jones, a twenty-eight-year-old amateur golfer, mounted a campaign against the record books. In four months, this natural, self-taught player conquered the British Amateur Championship, the British Open, the United States Open, and finally, the United States Amateur Championship—an achievement so extraordinary that writers dubbed it the Grand Slam. No one has ever repeated it. Incredibly, Jones followed this performance with the shocking announcement that he was retiring from the game. His abrupt disappearance from the public eye only reinforced the mythic image of him that endures to this day.
Mark Frost uses a wealth of original research to provide an unprecedented, intimate portrait of golf great Bobby Jones.
Mark Frost is the author of The Greatest Game Ever Played. He received an Emmy nomination for his work on the acclaimed television series Hill Street Blues and was the co-creator of the television series Twin Peaks. An avid golfer, he lives in Los Angeles and upstate New York with his wife and son.
