Who said it/and which course?

"The way we build a course in this country, the fellow who designs it tells you how you must play it.  He gives you a fairway and a green and some bunkers around it, and he tells you you've got to drive it here, if you don't you're in the woods or some other place. At____________, you can drive almost anywhere, but if you havent picked the right spot according to the weather conditions and the conditions of the ground, youre at a disadvantage."
199 played, only Augusta National left to play!

I wouldn't have gotten Jones, but the St. Andrews part was like a light blinking!

I thought "fellow" sounded very Jonesish, and I read to much into "this country" as meaning the course he was talking about was in the US.

I could swear Ogillvy gave a similar quote recently in referring to Royal Melbourne.
"I always knew terrorists hated us for our freedom. Now they love us for our bondage." -- Stephen T. Colbert discusses the popularity of '50 Shades of Grey' at Gitmo
