Hootie Johnson Hole Quotations

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.

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.

At holes No. 1 and No. 7 we want to emphasize accuracy off the tee while continuing to maintain the integrity of the holes.

We think that the recent changes to the 11th have properly restored the hole to that which Jones intended.
