Hootie Threatens To Institute Masters Ball

April 5, 2005

Fed up with new technology reducing the fabled Augusta National to a pitch and putt, Augusta Chairman Hootie Johnson apparently is ready to impose a standardized “Masters’ Ball” in future tournaments.

The Telegraph even reports that the thing already has been designed.

I say bring it on. In fact, maybe the PGA Tour ought to take a look at it. I don’t want to see a future PGA Tour that ends up like Formula One Racing, where the technology used by the team is more important than the human factor.
