Summary

837: Being Masters Week it’s hard not to invoke the name and contribution from the great Bobby Jones. Our guest is Dr Bob Jones IV, who admits that there’s a burden to being the last person who will ever carry his name. There was a period in his life that he wanted to hide from it, but as we learn in this episode, he’s come to embrace the honor and has a need to share his legacy and stories as one of the last family members to ever have known him. The family’s foundation would also like you to visit BobbyJonescsf.org. ***The full conversation featuring Bob and Fred is also available as a video on our Golf Smarter TV channel.
