Bobby Jones - 370 Hollywood Avenue, Crestwood, NY 10707

Golf legend Bobby Jones, ever the subject of controversy with his boyish looks, devilish temper and unsurpassed talent, once called Crestwood his home. The subject of the film “Bobby Jones: Stroke of Genius” released in 2004, Jones lived at 370 Hollywood Avenue in the 1930s. A true legend of sport, Bobby Jones won thirteen major championships between 1923 and 1930, and remains the only player ever to win all four majors in the same year-all before retiring from competitive golf at age 28(!).
