He did a very good job and I hope the successor follows though with many of the programs Hootie put in motion.

When I became a Patron in 2001 I took my son with me. We were standing at the practice green behind the 10th tee watching Tiger warm up. Hootie was standing there so I went over , introduced my son and I to him and and thanked him for adding all the new Patrons. He thanked me for coming over . He went on talking to my son (who was about 12 at the time) about how he should take up golf as it is a lifetime sport and joked about maybe seeing my son tee it up at Augusta one day.

The pep talk did not work. My son is now 18 and just started golfing this year. No Masters Jacket for him in the future!!!!
