If someone wants to hit it 330 or 340, he'd better be accurate. |
If we had six opinions, we really wouldn't know which way to go and they would all be good I'm sure. |
In Augusta and nationally, these funds provide needed help. |
Is that someone like Mike Weir or Chris DiMarco, is that what you're asking me? |
Phil Mickelson hit a big driver, power fade down there and had a pitching wedge to the green. The hole wasn't intended to play like that. I believe [Ben] Hogan is quoted as saying, 'If you ever see me on that green, you know I've missed the shot.' Well, if Hogan was hitting a damn pitching wedge, he wouldn't have been to the right of the green. He'd have been within three feet of the cup. |
The changes ... are appropriate for today's game. |
The golf course is the way we want it to be this year. We will continue to study possible improvements. |
The hole was intended to be played, according to Bobby Jones, with a three iron or stronger club (for the second shot). I was behind the ropes and Phil Mickelson hit a big driver and had a pitching wedge to the green. The hole wasn't intended to be played like that. |
The importance and use of the Internet continues to grow and we think this is another service to our patrons. The ability to see live action at Amen Corner is something very special. |
There's a lot of talk about 11. I mean, the hole was intended to be played, according to Bobby Jones, with a 3-iron or stronger club. |
They are entitled to their opinion. We are comfortable with what we're doing with the golf course for the Masters. |
We are pleased that we are able to support these organizations that improve the daily lives of so many people. In Augusta, and nationally, these funds provide needed help. |
We don't want to take the golf ball off the table but we're not giving that any serious consideration right now. |
We have never been worried about scores. Our greatest concern has always been that the course be kept current with the times. Change has been a constant at Augusta National, starting in the earliest years of the tournament. Bobby Jones made innumerable modifications to the layout, and that philosophy continues to this day. |
We plan to start our playoff, if we have one, on 18. And then play 10 and 18, and stay in that rotation. And it will still be sudden death. |
