The Grand Slam: Bobby Jones, America, and the Story of Golf
From the bestselling author of the critically acclaimed The Greatest Game Ever Played comes The Grand Slam , a riveting, in-depth look at the life and times of golf icon Bobby Jones. 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, an amateur golfer who had already won nine of the seventeen major championships he'd entered during the last seven years, mounted his final campaign against the record books. In four months, he 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. A natural, self-taught player, Jones made his debut at the U.S. Amateur Championship at the age of 14. But for the next seven years, Jones struggled in major championships, and not until he turned 21 in 1923 would he harness his immense talent. What the world didn't know was that throughout his playing career the intensely private Jones had longed to retreat from fame's glaring spotlight. While the press referred to him as "a golfing machine," the strain of competition exacted a ferocious toll on his physical and emotional well-being. During the season of the Slam he constantly battled exhaustion, nearly lost his life twice, and came perilously close to a total collapse. By the time he completed his unprecedented feat, Bobby Jones was the most famous man not only in golf, but in the history of American sports. Jones followed his crowning achievement with a shocking his retirement from the game at the age of 28. His abrupt disappearance from the public eye into a closely guarded private life helped create a mythological image of this hero from the Golden Age of sports that endures to this day.

This book was awesome. Golfer or not a golfer, if you are interested in reading about a first class person who dominated their sport like no other (Tiger Woods and Jack Nicklaus included), and did it with the utmost of sportsmanship, this is a MUST read. Who wins 13 majors in only 20 attempts, only finishing outside the top ten once in 20 tries? And he was the only golfer to win the true Grand Slam - four major championships in the same year. And all as an amateur. He never earned a dime for his winnings.
It was also fascinating to read about all of the other pioneers in the rise of American golf (Francis Ouimet, Walter Hagen, etc.) and the British golfers he competed with (Harry Vardon, Ted Ray. And although all wanted to beat him, all of them were friends of his and respected him.
He also showed class even through the horrible suffering and death he endured.
The man was first class in every sense of the word. Royal and Ancient St. Andrew's in Scotland adopted him as their own. Great great story and highest recommendation. It's a cliche that is way overused, but they don't make 'em like that anymore.

THE GRAND SLAM: BOBBY JONES, AMERICA AND THE STORY OF GOLF is Mark Frost's biography of the champion amateur golfer Bobby Jones. Today, it is fashionable to argue whether Jack Nicklaus or Tiger Woods is the greatest golfer of all time. This book might persuade you that, when all is said and done, Jones was the greatest.
Like all good biographies The Grand Slam is not just a biography. It is also history and a thoughtful and perceptive character study.
Jones achieved his ascendancy as a golfer in the so-called Golden Age of Sports. His was the age of Jack Dempsey, Red Grange and Knute Rockne. This was a time when newspaper coverage was florid and radio broadcasts of sporting events were an exercise in unabashed hero worship. America loved its star athletes and none was bigger than Bobby Jones.
Jones' mystique was due in part to his refusal to turn professional. He never made any money directly from playing golf. Ever. This was remarkable given his enormous popularity and the numerous major championships that he won. Equally remarkable is that he actually played in very few tournaments, but won a much higher percentage of those he competed in than even the magnificent Tiger Woods.
The story behind the story of Jones's success is what makes this book so interesting. Jones was sort of a head case. He had a furious temper that he controlled only with great effort. He suffered terribly when he competed in a golf tournament. He could not sleep. He lost many pounds of weight during tournaments that spanned only three days. He developed nervous tics before and during tournaments. And he began dreaming of retiring from the pressure of competitive golf while still only in his twenties.
In fact, he did retire as a very young man at the peak of his game. But while still in early middle age, he was stricken by a mysterious disease that eventually, after decades of suffering, rendered him a quadriplegic. His stoicism in the face of this terrible scourge is inspiring and humbling.
Anyone looking for inspiration to stand up to disappointment or pain in their life should read this book and take stock of Jones' stoicism and dignity. He is an inspiration.

This very well written book on the life of Bobby Jones was truly enjoyable from start to finish. I first learned about Bobby Jones as the golfer who called a two stroke penalty on himself in the US Open, and later learned more about his life from written accounts and from a movie based on this book. As is often the case, the movie is good, but the book is much better.
Certainly some aspects of this book will be more appreciated by those who play golf. Nonetheless, this book isn't simply about golf, or the Grand Slam. It is about a sickly child who went on to become the greatest golfer ever (and I would argue he still is), retired at the pinnacle of his accomplishments, then became a successful lawyer and businessman. Just when everything seemed great, he developed syringomyelia, from which he was progressively disabled. It details a truly good man/athlete. It is a wonderful biography.
I particularly liked the explanations of the history of the time, including WW I, the Great Depression, the roaring twenties, and life in Georgia. The book doesn't just focus on Jones, but also details such figures as Harry Vardon, Francis Ouimet, Walter Hagen, and even Dwight D Eisenhower (briefly). It is truly an amazing book.

Bobby J was the goat. Walter Hagen is also a beast. Great read for me - started off slow but once I the book started flowing I really liked it. Since naming his putter did the trick for Bobby, I might need to do the same.

This book is for anyone interested in golf, certainly, but also sports greats, and biographies of great men and women. I didn’t realize it going into this tale, but Bob Jones was more than just a great golfer (the greatest seemingly of all time), but he was also a very gracious man, and a true role model. Not without weaknesses and turmoil, but someone with both courage to fight and wisdom to know when to stop.
A man of true character from what I could tell, and someone who had real integrity. Someone who grew in this as the years went in.
I thought that the writing was very good. It can get tedious to describe golf matches, but Frost does it well, keeping things moving. I don’t know what kind of source material is available on Jones, but you got a pretty good picture of the man. I wouldn’t call it a deep picture, because there’s scant information in the conversations with his wife, for example, but considering the topic ‘the grand slam’ the book was meant to focus on Jones’ golfing career and culminate in 1930 with his supreme achievement. Taking that into account, it’s a very well written volume.
Now to the more narrow audience of golf fans, this is not something you should miss. I wish I’d have had it as a teenager, learning the me for the first time. To read how Jones mastered his temper, for instance, was terrific. And to realize how hard the golf was on his body, was personally very impactful. Heartily recommend.

This is a great book about the early years of Golf in America and the man who brought it to the forefront of America. Bobby Jones was a remarkable man. I didn't know much about him before reading this book. I knew he was the founder of Augusta National and The Masters Tournament, but that was about it. Since The Masters is just around the corner, and the fact that I'm tired of hearing about Tiger Woods, it seemed like an appropriate time to read about the man who started it all. This book weaves the story of Jones' competitive golf career around the history of the world at that time. It describes the early years of Bobby's career and how he almost got banned by USGA for throwing a club at a spectator. It describes the emotional and physical toll taken to acheive what he did. To this date, he is the only golfer to win the Grand Slam. The four major titles of the time were the US Open and US Amateur, and the British Open and British Amateur. He won all four in 1930. He also helped win the Ryder Cup as well that year, just for fun. For any golf fan, this book is a window to a different era when the pro golfer was secondary to the amateur in the eyes of most. Bob Jones, the life-long Amateur, retired at the height of his athletic powers. His life is a great story.

The best part about this book was the insight into Bobby Jones' high character and how he was a man of his times. The author did a good job introducing many famous persons from golfing history and describing the world of early 20th century golf, professional and amateur. He could have saved a lot of pages by reducing the "blow by blow" accounts of the rounds Jones played. By the time I got to the accounts of the four major tournaments Jones won in 1930, I had become so tired of descriptions of ball flights and such that I skimmed them over. The closing chapters on Jones' life after golf and his poignant physical decline were well written and detailed enough. Considering the equipment Jones played with and how consistently well he struck the ball under pressure against great competition, I think there is no choice to declare him the greatest golfer who ever played the game.

A very biased 5 stars. I just couldn’t avoid giving the cool history this provided me the 5 star accolade. An icon of the game, nough said

The Grand Slam is one of those rare nonfiction books that stays with you long after you turn the final page. I went into this expecting a story about golf greatness — and it absolutely delivers that — but what surprised me was how deeply moved I was by Bobby Jones’s life as a whole.
Mark Frost paints a vivid portrait of a man who wasn’t just a brilliant golfer, but a remarkable human being: intelligent, disciplined, humble, fiercely competitive without ever being arrogant, and grounded by a strong moral compass. His accomplishments almost feel unreal — the Grand Slam, his dominance across eras, his role in shaping Augusta and The Masters — but Frost manages to show the person behind the legend.
And that’s what hit me hardest.
For all the triumph and glory, Bobby Jones’s life ends on a note that’s quietly heartbreaking. A man who moved so gracefully, who played with such effortless beauty, spent his final years in pain and physical decline. Yet he carried himself with dignity through it all. He never complained, never let bitterness define him, and remained the same thoughtful, gracious presence he’d always been.
It’s sad. It’s inspiring. It’s human.
This book reminded me why I love stories — whether fiction or nonfiction. It’s a powerful, emotional biography that captures both the brilliance of greatness and the fragility of life. I walked away with a deeper appreciation not only for golf, but for the kind of character that truly defines a legend.
A beautiful, moving read. Highly recommended.

Started golfing so naturally had to read about history of golf in my quest. My dad likes Bobby Jones more than me, so figured I’d start there. Now I see why! (And I’ve been told by my brother upon golfing with him and tying to explain the history of everything we did that people don’t golf to hear about the history of golf, so Goodreads it is).
“Bobby was the first American to transcend his sport in a way we would recognize today as a superstar... The air around him felt charged with the dreams of millions of strangers, but his modesty made him feel as approachable as the kid next door.
His record in his sport cannot and never will be equaled, but it was the way in which he went about realizing his abilities that matters even more, because he stood for something rare and true without trying to and saying so in speeches and empty gestures. He never talked about the meaning of what he had accomplished; he simply lived it. And in so doing left others with a far more meaningful path to follow. That’s why his dedicated pursuits of the excellence that born in him still holds the power to inspire.”

I’ve read two other Frost books about golf (The Greatest Game Ever Played and The Match); both are two of my favorite nonfiction books ever. So it’s no surprise I picked up The Grand Slam, an account of the life of Bobby Jones, the greatest amateur golfer (and one of the greatest golfers) ever. Frost traces Bobby’s attachment to the game – from the first time he picked up a golf club; through his teen years as a prodigy; through his early years as one of the world’s best golfers searching for his first championship; through the 1920’s when he won 13 championships in 7 years, including the 1930 Grand Slam (US and British Opens and Amateurs); and then finally through his retirement from the game but his lifelong connection to it. Frost does a great job of describing Bobby’s closest relationships (like the one to his mentor Pop Keeler, the journalist) and his emotional state during each part of his life (especially the pressure he felt in providing for a family balanced against remaining an amateur golfer and making no money from his success). Frost’s character portrayals always feel real and unique full of nuance. However, for me, this was my least favorite of his three golf narratives. First, this book was far more biography-like than his other two books. In the other two, there was a particular event that acted as the central framework of the book, and the biographies of the protagonists were interwoven with a detailed account of the event – a great blend of action and backstory. In this book, there is no central event until we get to the Grand Slam in the last third of the book. The accounts of the golf matches prior to the Grand Slam are very quick, and even once we get to the Grand Slam events, the accounts of the rounds were less engaging for me than the accounts from the other two works. Secondly, I felt Frost’s focus was lacking for much of the book due to the inclusion of too many details that were only circumstantially related to Bobby Jones or to golf. For example, Frost explains that some of the British and US golf events were canceled during WWI – but then goes into extraordinary detail about what caused WWI (even a whole page devoted to Mata Hari). In another example, he spends pages discussing the life of Jack Dempsey simply as a sidenote in discussing the rise of sports icons in the early part of the century. Finally, when describing iconic characters I get that it is difficult to refrain from using superlatives. I noticed Frost’s (over)use of superlatives and hyperbole in his other two works (especially in The Match when he writes about Lord Byron and Ben Hogan). But in The Grand Slam, I felt he went overboard; throughout the book we get a particular shot described as the greatest iron ever hit in a major championship, or a particular performance as the most dominant display of match play golf ever, or the Grand Slam as the greatest achievement in golf or sports ever, etc. Again, with Bobby Jones, what is truth and what is hyperbole is a real question, I understand. Still, I found some places too overly gushing for my tastes. Still a recommended read, especially for fans of sports nonfiction books; I just expected more from one of my favorite authors.

The Grand Slam : Bobby Jones, America, and the Story of Golf, by Mark Frost, is about Bobby Jones and how he came to fame. By the time he was 25, he had never really thought of playing golf on the pro level. Bobby just wanted to play the game for fun. When he was 32, some of Bobbies friends had said he should enter into the U.S. Amateurs Open. Bobby thought this was a ridiculous idea until he was teeing off on the first tee and later to win the Open. This win gave Bobby the inspiration to enter into the U.S. Open. Little did Bobby know he would also win the U.S. Open beating some of the best players in the world. Bobby would later on winning other Mayors but would suddenly disapear from golf altogether. He would come back with a very large bang.
I liked this book mostly because I love golf and the history behind it. If you don't like golf, you will not like this book at all. A historical golfer, what some would say the best ever, is what this book is all about. The history of Bobby Jones.

Frost does a nice job of capturing the tension of a golf tournament and for golf fans/addicts it will be interesting. Unfortunately, Frost's depiction of Bobby Jones borders on Hero worship. Yes - Jones was a great champion, good friend, loyal husband, dutiful son, good businessman all great characteristics but makes for bland reading. Frost fails take up many of the great cultural questions that Bobby Jones' life (and the founding of Augusta National) raise. What was Jones' view on women and golf? What was his views on African Americans participating in golf (yet alone being a member of one of his clubs? None of these questions are addressed. I think Jones was a good decent man -a product of his early 20th century southern upbringing and the mores of the time - how that could have impacted a modern reader's view of Mr. Jones life is completely left out of this volume. I think that is a critical miss on Frost's part.

Another well researched and well written book by Mark Frost, who has written two other good books on golf, The Match, and the Greatest Game Ever Played. I liked those two books better than this one, as this book was more about the legendary golfer Bobby Jones, the only golfer to win the elusive Grand Slam title (hence the name of this book) and his golf career, rather than one golf event like the other two books focused on. Still, a good read, even if if did drag at some points because it seemed there was almost TOO much detail, but that's a lot better than not enough. I recommend for any golf fan, while sports fans will want to read the other two before checking this one out. Game Six, a baseball book by Frost, is also a great read. I look forward to a new Frost book on sports, whenever that is.

Bravo! Mark Frost has done it again! For those who haven't read Frost ' s golf writing, this is a gem. Bobby Jones alone makes for a great subject. But the author goes well beyond Robert Tyre Jones and the golden age of this wonderful game. He does the Roaring Twenties proud, as well as tackles many other topics with detail, passion and outstanding prose. I can't decide if I like this book, GRAND SLAM, better than Frost ' s THE GREATEST GAME EVER PLAYED. I read Jones' bio secondly, so it's fresher in my mind. As a result I just may lean towards that as my favorite. (I enjoy THE MATCH by Frost also, but not nearly as much.) Still, both reads are sensational. Every golfer worth a 72 should own these two books.

If only high-performing, exceptionally talented athletes could conduct their lives like Bobby Jones, we wouldn't have to face headlines about Tiger Woods and his indiscretions. Mark Frost does an excellent job in bringing to life Bobby Jones as a person, and the unique relationships he formed with his father, as well as his mentor and champion, Oscar Bane "Pops" Keeler. The Depression is on full tilt, and people are looking for something or someone to bring some happiness into their lives. The unique accomplishment of the Grand Slam by Bobby Jones answered this need for many people. Even if you don't know much about golf, there is a lot to be learned in this book.
December 12, 2007
not as good as 'The Greatest' or "The Match" but most certainly a worthwhile read for the golf nut. It essentially picks up where 'the greatest' ends and covers Bobby Jones' ascension to golf's pantheon climaxing with his 1930 Grand Slam.
It also paints an adequate picture of America during the 20's and 30's and Frost's writing style makes this another quick page turner. You know what is going ot happen but you just can't wait to get there and relive Jone's accomplishments through Frost's round by round coverage. Still, a must read.

This is an in depth portrayal of a fascinating man in both American history and American sporting history. It tells the little known story of how golf was introduced to America, intertwined with the events of the American landscape of the period, focusing ultimately on the life story of Bobby Jones. A great read for any sports fan.
December 29, 2011
What an awesome, in-depth story of the greatest golfer of all time. Bobby fans will love this book - loaded with info - and also lots of history from the early 1900's. I knew this would be a great book, I'd read The Match and Greatest Game - Mark Frost and Golf history go together beautifully! A must for golf history fans - and essential for Bobby Jones admirers.
July 11, 2009
I knew little to nothing about Bobby Jones before reading this book. I really enjoyed Grand Slam and learning about the life of Bobby Jones who I now realize may have been the most dominant American athlete in his/her sport. The book is interesting, easy to read, and I would recommend it.
February 8, 2010
There are a lot of books about Bobby Jones, what makes this book exceptional is tha accompanying History segments. Mark Frost does a great job explaining the political and social landscapes, sometimes better than he explains the golf course landscapes.

Mark Frost is a really great writer. He takes a topic that I didn't know anything (or didn't care anything) about and made it genuinely interesting. I found this story completely engaging and readable. I strongly recommend both this book and "The Greatest Game Ever Played", even if you hate golf.
January 27, 2012
I got side-tracked and took a long time to finish this book. Nevertheless it is an outstanding read. It is more than a story of a great golfer. The writer tells a great deal about history around the great golfer. Everything is in context beyond just Bobby Jones.
July 9, 2015
I love golf and American history. I got both with this book. After winning the Grand Slam, Bobby Jones was diagnosed with a rare disease called syringomyelia at a young age. He told a friend "You know, in golf we play the ball as it lies. Now, we will not speak of this again, ever".
July 31, 2012
The story of Bobby Jones and his Great Slam in 1930. I thoroughly enjoyed this book and the way Mark Frost weaves the story of Bobby Jones, the history of golf, and the history of the US at the time. I recommend this book to lovers of golf and history.

I really liked the way the author combined the life story of Bobby with the history of what was happening in the world at this time. It was easy to get connected with the characters in the book. Excellent read, especially for those who love golf.

Loved this book, mostly because it's all about a hero of mine. Also gives a great recount of the United States and the rest of the world in which Jones grew up.
