The new Bobby Jones is much more worthy of its namesake and replaced an old layout that was worn out, often nonsensical in its routing and occasionally dangerous because of blind shots and unmarked fairways. “We believe Mr. Jones would particularly appreciate our new facility’s focus on junior golf and adaptive golf, given his own life history as a junior prodigy, but being confined to a wheelchair in his final years. The Jones family is very pleased about and supportive of the project,” said Chuck Palmer, a former GSGA president and member of the Bobby Jones Golf Course Foundation’s Board of Directors.
