Golf's Ultimate Tournament Experience the Masters The Masters Golf’s ultimate tournament experience April, 2020 Overview The Masters Tournament We’ll tell you where to park your chairs, the best viewing spots and the secrets to making the most of a day at golf’s most iconic tournament. It all began with an amateur golfer and a banker. Bobby Jones, a lawyer by profession, was a champion golfer and Clifford Roberts had made his fortune on Wall Street. Unhappy with the constant pressures of competition, Jones longed to play with friends away from the hordes. And so, together with Roberts, he created his dream course. In 1933, Augusta National Golf Club opened its doors and, a year later, they invited 72 golfers to play in the first-ever Masters, as it would become. With holes named Magnolia (5th) and Azalea (13th), it’s no surprise to learn that Augusta was built on a nursery, giving British architect Alister Mackenzie incredibly fertile ground to work with. Although he never saw the Masters played at Augusta, passing away months before the first tournament in 1934, it was one of his greatest pieces of work.

  • THE MASTERS COLUMBIA, USA 2022 WELCOME We Thinkit’S Onlyfittingthatyougettosampleforyourself
    THE MASTERS COLUMBIA, USA 2022 HISTORYWELCOME → →PACKAGESHISTORY → → ITINERARIESPACKAGE → PRESS → INFORMATION → VIEWING → CONTACT → WELCOME TO THE MASTERS EXPERIENCE Every second week of April, Augusta National opens its gates for The Masters, arguably the most exclusive and eagerly anticipated golfing event of the year. Since its founder Bobby Jones held the very first Augusta National Invitational Tournament in 1934, The Masters has had a special place in the hearts of all golf fans and enthusiasts alike. The springtime splendour of Augusta National never disappoints and probably never will. With such iconic moments in golfing history as Nicklaus’s charge in 1986, Faldo’s comeback in 1996 and Tiger’s chip-in in 2005, Augusta has an atmosphere and aura like no other place on earth. We think it’s only fitting that you get to sample that for yourself. WELCOME HISTORYWELCOME → →PACKAGESHISTORY → → ITINERARIESPACKAGE → PRESS → INFORMATION → VIEWING → CONTACT → A GOLF TOURNAMENT LIKE NO OTHER STEEPED IN TRADITION Augusta National Golf Club was founded by Bobby Jones, the legendary amateur champion, and Clifford Roberts, an astute investment banker in New York. The 365-acre property, originally Fruitland Nurseries, was purchased in 1931 for $70,000. Jones helped design the golf course, working alongside the esteemed British architect Dr. Alister Mackenzie. Jones’s popularity within the game helped attract golf’s biggest stars to the Masters, beginning with the inaugural event in 1934. Since then, some of golf’s most memorable moments – both comebacks and collapses – have taken place on the lush course. The Masters Tournament has been held the first full week of April every year since its inception, except for 1943-1945.

  • 2011Traditions of Golf Challenge Study Guide
    2011Traditions of Golf Challenge Study Guide HISTORY SECTION PRE - 20th Century “When did the game of golf start?” Golf originated in the 15th century in Scotland. Mary, Queen of Scots introduced the word “caddie” to the game. While playing golf, she was accompanied by a club-carrying young boy whom she called the “cadet”, or “caddie.” Players would hit a pebble around a natural course of sand dunes, rabbit runs and tracks using a stick or primitive club. “How were golf balls developed?” The first real golf ball was known as the “feathery”. The feathery was a leather sack filled by hand with boiled goose feathers, and stitched up and painted. The feathery golf ball period may have started as early as the 1400’s and ended in the early 1850’s. The arrival of the gutta percha ball in 1848 or “guttie”, as it was called, revolutionized the game and allowed golf’s spread to the masses. The guttie was made from rubber, which could be heated, and formulated into a ball. The next revolution in ball design came around 1905 with the patented "Haskell" ball, which is a composite of a solid core wound with thin strips of rubber. Some modern balls (the expensive ones) are made this way today. This ball performed much better than the gutty and could be made cheaply compared to earlier balls. In 1972 the first two-piece ball was introduced by Spalding. These are more popular with amateurs, as they are more durable and considered to be longer and straighter. Many professionals are still devoted to the softer covered balls, since they prefer the added spin for control as opposed to distance.

  • Sports and Recreation
    A Guide to Historical Holdings In the Dwight D. Eisenhower Library SPORTS AND RECREATION Compiled by Herbert Pankratz November 2006 INTRODUCTION Materials in the Dwight D. Eisenhower Library relating to sports and recreation constitute a largely untapped resource. This special guide has been prepared to assist potential researchers in identifying pertinent primary source materials on this subject area. The guide should not be considered definitive, as the search for pertinent materials was conducted primarily at the folder title level. Most of the materials I surveyed fall into two categories—Eisenhower’s personal involvement in sports and recreation and public policies and programs which affected sports and recreation on a national level. Following World War II, increased economic prosperity, population growth, and more leisure time led to a rapid rise in public use of outdoor recreational facilities. Various government agencies sought to accommodate the increasing numbers of tourists. Annual visits to national forests increased from 27 million in 1950 to 122 million by 1963. In 1957, the Forest Service began Operation Outdoors, a five-year program to improve and expand recreational facilities in national forests. The National Park Service responded to the challenge with Mission 66, a ten-year program designed to upgrade recreational facilities in our national parks. The Park Service also undertook some significant surveys or studies of recreational areas in the U.S. from 1955 to 1960. Congress passed legislation to encourage the development of recreational facilities. The Recreation and Public Purposes Act of 1956 (HR 1815I) permitted the sale or lease of federal lands for recreational purposes.

  • April 4, 2018 for IMMEDIATE RELEASE Fred Ridley, Chairman Of
    April 4, 2018 FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Fred Ridley, Chairman of Augusta National Golf Club and the Masters Tournament, announced today the establishment of the Augusta National Women’s Amateur Championship, which will be held annually the week prior to the Masters and will culminate with the final round taking place at Augusta National. “Bobby Jones and Clifford Roberts left behind a legacy of always trying to contribute meaningfully to the game of golf,” Ridley said. “The Augusta National Women’s Amateur Championship embodies that principle, and we believe this event will have a significant and lasting impact on the future of the women’s game. Our hope and expectation is that this event will further energize those who already love the sport and inspire others through the dream of competing at Augusta National.” The 54-hole, stroke play tournament will feature an international field of 72 players. Invitees will be determined by awarding winners of other recognized championships and using the Women’s World Amateur Golf Ranking. In 2019, the first two rounds will take place at Champions Retreat Golf Club in Augusta. After a cut to the low 30 scores, the final competitive round will take place at Augusta National on Saturday, April 6, when an amateur champion will be crowned for the first time ever at the home of the Masters. The event is expected to be televised and will be distributed on digital platforms around the world. Daily tickets onto the grounds of Augusta National for the final round will also be made available through a random selection process that will be announced at a later date.
