RIDGEDALE — Over three years ago, Tiger Woods sat next to Bass Pro Shops founder Johnny Morris in front of the future design for the 19th hole at Payne's Valley — Woods' first public golf course.
Behind the two was the 19th hole — set on an island in the middle of the little pond. A waterfall fell behind it as Woods took a swing.
The two then set out on designing the course.
