Congrats to Bubba Watson on winning the Masters today!
Bubba has been good to Golfdom in the past, and he clearly is an advocate of the superintendent and one of those golfers who "gets it." I had a chance to chat with Bubba at Congressional during last year's U.S. Open, and this is what he told me about superintendents and their work:
"People don’t understand how hard it is. The superintendent can only
do so much, then the weather has to do the other part. Every golf
course is going to have little spots, no matter how perfect it is.
That’s the key, is the weather. That’ll make the course or break the
course, is weather. And that’s what the superintendent fears, is
weather."
Bubba was a real gentlemen to talk to and gave me plenty of time to talk about course conditions and the work of superintendents. So Bubba is not only the Masters champion, but he's also a good dude, in our book.
Congrats Bubba!
