Bobby Jones Golf Instruction Shorts Movies

After his Grand Slam year winning the four major golf tournaments, Bobby Jones gave up his amateur status in order to produce a series of instructional golf films for Vitaphone (Warner Brothers). The series "How I Play Gold" consisted of 12 films, followed by 6 films in "How to Break 90." The films featured Jones instructing many big-name actors of the early 30s in humorous situations—mostly WB contract actors, but also loaned from other studios.
