Rees: It's Gotten "Personal"

Ron Green Jr. interviews Rees Jones and asks about recent player criticism of his work. (Thanks to reader Del for this.)

Your work has been criticized by Phil Mickelson and others. That comes with the territory of being a designer, but does it bother you?

RJ: It bothers me when it gets personal. I expect it as far as the game or the golf course because not every golf course suits every player. It's supposed to be the golf course against the golfer until the final round when it really becomes the golfers against one another.
