I am deeply saddened by the passing of Charlie Yates. Charlie was an outstanding amateur golfer and a member who was linked to Bobby Jones and the club's history, attending every Masters through 2003. He will be greatly missed.
More Quotes from Hootie Johnson:
As in the past, our objective is to maintain the integrity and shot values of the golf course as envisioned by Bobby Jones and Alister Mackenzie . Players' scores are not a factor. We will keep the golf course current with the times.Hootie Johnson
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.

We would like something like that, maybe 30 years ago, 20 or 30 - something other than a pitching wedge.

I didn't know that a tough golf course was supposed to be a lot of fun. I don't know that hitting a 6-iron on No. 1 would be any more fun today than it was 20 years ago.

While I hope you will act responsibly and with reason on this issue, I feel obliged to tell you that your failure to do so would cause me to reevaluate my association with an organization that fails to recognize the role of women in our society. While I have, up to this point, respected your request that this issue not be a subject of discussion either with the public or with other members, I feel that continuing the status quo would cause me to make my views known to a broader audience -- if only to remove any doubt that I approve of the present policy.

As Martha Burk can attest, Johnson is not the most tender of pen pals. He blew off Wyman in a response dated Nov.22. Obviously I was disappointed to receive your letter, ... Although I respect your right to disagree, I must tell you that the Executive Committee unanimously adopted our present position on membership, and the overwhelming majority of our members are in complete agreement. I want you to also know that there is no timetable for the admission of women into our membership, nor do I expect there to be one in the foreseeable future. If you feel compelled to resign, we will certainly understand. I hope, however, you will continue to respect the rights of the rest of the membership.
