Many members felt that his design of the Par 3 4th hole was unfairly difficult and long. Jones offered to play the hole with two members and the club pro to address their concerns. The members and the pro all teed off and landed their balls on the green. Jones stepped up to the tee and hit a 4-iron onto the green, and his ball rolled right into the cup for a hole-in-one. Legend has it that Jones turned to the other three and remarked, "Gentlemen, the hole is fair." + + + +
