Founded in 1933, the Augusta National Golf Club is the perfect course. Co-designed by legends Bobby Jones and Alister MacKenzie, Augusta boasts gorgeous fairways and perfectly manicured greens, set against a breathtaking backdrop of azaleas and pines. Every April, the invitation-only Masters Tournament is watched by millions of avid viewers around the globe. But the exclusive club, with a membership comprising some of the world’s most powerful and influential men, is also notorious for a legacy of secrets and controversy.Journalist and novelist Steve Eubanks used all of his investigative and storytelling talents to get to the heart of Augusta’s turbulent history, including its 44-year rule under the iron fist of Cliff Roberts and his suicide on the club’s grounds; the Masters’ impetuous yet long-standing relationship with CBS; allegations of racism; and the club’s countless, rigid rules (members can even be expelled for wearing their green Augusta blazers outside the club).With 45 inspiring photographs, Eubanks’s balanced account also captures the historic moments that evoke deep affection for Augusta, from Dwight Eisenhower teeing off in the days before the Masters was televised to Jack Nicklaus’s emotional victory at age 46, 23 years after he won his first green jacket. With a new chapter on Tiger Woods’s 1997 triumph and published just in time for the 1998 Masters, Augusta is essential reading for anyone who wants the complete story of American golf’s most hallowed ground.e
