My guess is that Bob Jones would be more disappointed than the good Dr.
I doubt this, because Bobby was there for so many of the changes.
Excellent (and fair) point Jim. But would you not agree that the changes that Bob oversaw in the years 1934-70, were ones that were substantially real estate improvements, and not so much a detraction from the quality of golf? After the death of Alister Mackenzie, they reversed the nines, and they reconfigured almost all of the water around 12, 15 and 16. Perry Maxwell, Mackenzie's collaborator, changed 10. Other people tweaked at 9, and also 18. These things we all know. And through the 50's and 60's, the Eisenhower years, the course got greener, and smoother, and more of a garden-greenhouse. (The Berckmanns would be happy, no doubt.)
But much more than Dr. Mackenzie, Bob Jones knew the difference between playing in a U.S. Open, and a British Open, and a Masters. And that part would now, I think, be really bothersome to Jones. That the Masters has been so distorted into a Georgia U.S. Open.
