Every Past Champion Is Entitled To His Point Of View...

The Golf Channel asked Hootie Johnson to comment on the April Golf Digest story that includes Jack Nicklaus and Arnold Palmer criticizing course changes.

A "club spokesman" responded:

"Mr. Johnson has no opinion about their comments. Every past champion is entitled to his point of view."

Especially when it comes to the Champions Dinner menu.

Wow, this is really sad to see. I was looking forward to seeing and picking Chris Dimarco in my fantasy picks for this years Masters Champion. He came oh so close last year. Listening to Jack and Arnold, and becoming more and more educated by your blog Geoff, it would now seem inevitable that Chris start experimenting with some of those Vijay length drivers, and soon.

But where's the balance? There's no problem with the game. . . just because one of, if not the, palace of golf in this country has become unrecognizable to the members from the tournament tees.

Hootie should know better.
This was not "every past champion".
These are ANGC members and multiple winners of their little invitational.

Maybe ANGC should have consulted Martha Burke before making these changes!
