	ESPN Classic - Bobby Jones was golf's fast study
		Jones liked to describe a dangerous shot that only a golfer with real guts could pull off as a shot that required "sheer delicatessen." Perhaps no shot in his distinguished career was more "sheer delicatessen." With his two-iron, he drilled the ball over the water and to within eight feet of the pin.
		Jones, who had graduated Georgia Tech and Harvard and was a lawyer in Atlanta, played lots of friendly golf, but he emerged from his retirement only once a year to play in the Masters.
		In his last years, Jones was confined to a wheelchair because of syringomyelia, a fluid-filled cavity in the spinal cord that caused him first pain, then loss of feeling and muscle atrophy.

		There's plenty of time to admire the pleasing symmetry of his clean-cut features during "Bobby Jones: Stroke of Genius," a sluggish meander through the life of the man considered by many to be a deity of golfing.

		Bobby Jones as a putter is a tough question.
		Jones (and later Ben Crenshaw) described Jones' stroke as a miniature goilf swing.
