942 Summary Dr. Bob Jones IV returns to discuss the history of golf in Atlanta and the impact of prominent golfers and philanthropists in the city. The conversation then shifts to the legacy of Bobby Jones and situating Jones in his historical context and the intersections between history, athletics, and psychology in understanding his impact. Jones achieved early success in golf, breaking records with hickory shafted clubs and low-compression balls. The conversation also covers the formation of Augusta National Golf Club and the Masters Tournament. Jones faced a health crisis after World War II, but bore his illness with grace and dignity.
