Jones on "So-Called" One Shotters
/While going through some of the quotes left out of Lines of Charm (note that shamless plug as the Christmas shopping season gets underway), I found this beauty from Bobby Jones:
I never have been convinced that a so-called one-shot hole of 240 or 250 yards is a forthright golfing problem.
Now, you may recall Mr. Jones's name and writings have recently been invoked (and will be many more times between now and April) to justify the lengthening of Augusta National's fourth hole to 240 yards. Just thought I'd share this so that some of you out there can understand why us architecture junkies want to scream when we read that Jones would approve of the new-look course.
