About This Movie

How I Play Golf, by Bobby Jones No. 10: 'Trouble Shots' has this relaxed, yet focused vibe. It’s interesting watching Jones break down those challenging moments on the course—there's a sort of intimacy in his instruction. The pacing is quite measured, allowing viewers to really digest the nuances of each shot he discusses. You feel like you’re getting a private lesson from a master. What stands out is his ability to convey the mental aspect of golf, not just the technique. It captures a very specific era of golf instruction that you don’t see much of anymore, and the simplicity of the filming really supports that.

This short film is part of a series that can be somewhat tricky to find, especially in good condition. The original release was primarily on 16mm, and there are a handful of later reissues, yet the 1931 print holds a certain charm. Collectors often appreciate the historical context of Jones’ teachings, making it an intriguing item for anyone interested in golf history or instructional media.
