  ESPN.com: Bobby Jones was golf's fast study
Bobby Jones was a child prodigy who became The Man.
Bobby Jones found success immediately on the golf course, struggled to find himself as a teen and then had seven phenomenal seasons before retiring from the game at age 28 in 1930.
"Bobby was a short, rotund kid, with the face of an angel and the temper of a timber wolf," Grantland Rice wrote in The Saturday Evening Post in 1940.

 Good Golf For Life - Bobby Jones at Inwood, 1923
Cruickshank took a 1-iron and hit a career shot over the water guarding the front of the green, the ball flying on a line right at the hole and coming to rest 6 feet from it.
Cruickshank was up by 2 shots after six holes, thanks to birdies at the third and fifth (and a missed an 18 inch putt by Jones at the 6th), but they ended up tied at the turn.
Cruickshank hit a bad drive, some described it as a half top down the left side of the fairway, so poor in fact that he had no chance of reaching the green with his second shot, especially since it was guarded in front by a water hazard.
