There are many areas of Atlanta that remind me of Bobby Jones. Whether it’s East Lake, his old house (Whitehall) off Tuxedo Road, the law office where he practiced in historic downtown, or the Atlanta universities he attended, there is always a piece of Bob Jones in the city.
Today, I had the opportunity to visit the archives at Georgia Tech’s library and found the 1922 edition of The Blueprint – the university’s yearbook.

A fascinating piece about Bobby’s profile in The Blueprint is how involved he was with campus life. His activities, as enumerated below, were vast and diverse including: Golf Team, Koseme, Bull Dog, Cotillion Club, Secretary Senior Class, Pan-Hellic Council, Skull and Key. Amazing.
Bobby Jones’ Profile in the “The Blueprint”
The following is the write up on Bob Jones in the “The Blueprint:”
Yes, this is none other than the famous Bob, of golfing fame. We can’t tell much about him that you don’t already know unless that he’s a darn good student as well as a golfer, not to mention that he is exceedingly popular with his fellow students.
Bobby Jones continues to inspire, years after his passing. More to come from Mr. Jones soon…
