For pure vitriol not many rivalries top the feud between Bobby and Rees Jones, the course designers who followed in their famous father's footsteps.
Three years ago, Rees sued Bobby, alleging that he was owed nearly $100,000 related to their mother's estate and for royalties associated with an RTJ clothing brand. Bobby countersued, claiming Rees's "Open Doctor" moniker belonged to their father and that Rees wasn't entitled to it. (A few months earlier, the Jones boys had been in litigation over dad's Coral Ridge Country Club in Fort Lauderdale, Fla.)
In 2006, a former associate of Jones Sr. told the South Florida Sun- Sentinal: "It was their father's sincerest wish late in his life that his sons would resolve their differences."
A tall order, Pops...
