We settled on 18-10 primarily in consideration of our patrons.

Wow. I don't know what it's going to look like next year.
bobby change concern constant continues course current earliest greatest jones kept philosophy starting worried
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.
daily funds improve lives needed pleased provide support
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.
plan start stay sudden
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.
maybe pitching
We would like something like that, maybe 30 years ago, 20 or 30 - something other than a pitching wedge.
according bobby hole intended stronger talk
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.
accuracy continuing emphasize holes integrity maintain tee
At holes No. 1 and No. 7 we want to emphasize accuracy off the tee while continuing to maintain the integrity of the holes.
bobby course current envisioned golf integrity jones maintain objective scores shot values
As in the past, our objective is to maintain the integrity and shot values of the golf course as envisioned by Bobby Jones and Alister Mackenzie . Players' scores are not a factor. We will keep the golf course current with the times.
course entitled golf
They are entitled to their opinion. We are comfortable with what we're doing with the golf course for the Masters.
continue course evaluate far golf
As far as the golf course is concerned, we'll have to continue to evaluate that.
chance course golf good guy hit scoring
I think that the shorter hitter, or someone that's not a bomber, has just as good a chance of scoring on this golf course as the guy that's going to hit it 330.
hit wants
If someone wants to hit it 330 or 340, he'd better be accurate.
worried
We're not worried about Tiger. We're worried about these 17-year-olds.
