Nicklaus had never eaten a Moon Pie before?


"Nicklaus is hopeful that Augusta National chairman Fred Ridley, a former U.S. Amateur champ and reputed course architecture wonk, will take the course back to its origins."

Is this true? I've never read anything regarding Fred Ridley as a GCA wonk. In fact, another article I read had him praising the tree planting done by Hootie Johnson in the 90s.
