IT’S THE MASTERS, OF COURSE Spring comes alive each April with the playing of The
Masters at Augusta National Golf Club, the most storied and beloved of all professional golf tournaments. Augusta National was co-founded by the great
Bobby Jones and Clifford Roberts, while the course was designed by legendary architect Alister MacKenzie. Some modifications have taken place over the years since the club opened for play in 1932, but, for the most part, the original layout remains intact. The course is located on the former Fruitlands Nursery, and the club pays homage to its history by naming each hole after a flowering shrub or tree. From the first winner, Horton Smith, to the 2014 champion, Bubba Watson, the greatest names in golf have sought and captured the green jacket that goes to the winner, who automatically becomes an honorary member of the prestigious club. Gene Sarazen, Ben Hogan, Jack Nicklaus, Arnold Palmer, Gary Player, Tom Watson, Tiger Woods and Phil Mickelson all share one thing in common: They have that green jacket waiting for them in the locker room at Augusta National each time they visit. The 2015 event will be played the week of April 7
through 13, with the action beginning with a fun-filled, relaxed contest on the club’s immaculate par three course.

The tourney culminates in what always seems to be a nail- biting finish on Sunday. The final nine holes are among the most famous in all of golf: the small, par 3 12th, where tournaments have been won and lost, and the 13th, a short, dogleg left par 5 that can produce an eagle or a double bogey, are among them. Tickets are extremely difficult to come by. In fact a
lottery is held each year. They can be purchased through agencies online or by luck from roadside vendors the days of the tournament. However you obtain your tickets, be prepared to pay a stiff price for them. The tournament is broadcast by CBS Television.
