While inducting new lawyers into the bar of the Georgia Supreme Court, Justice P. Harris Hines has been known to tell the inspirational story of legendary golfer Robert T. “Bobby” Jones Jr. penalizing himself one stroke in the U.S. Open, despite nobody else witnessing the infraction. Hines’ message: Practice law with honesty, integrity and ethical responsibility.
Author Mark Frost details the rules incident involving Jones in his historical non-fiction book, “The Grand Slam: Bobby Jones, America, and the Story of Golf.” The anecdote is one of many that golf fans and other readers will find interesting in this insightful and captivating biography of Jones that skillfully blends social history with the Atlanta golfer’s meteoric rise to success and fame in the 1920s and beyond.
