The History of Golf In Augusta

Titleist

The Masters Tournament has arrived. It's a special time of year when we can reflect on the challenge and beauty of the game against the majestic backdrop of Augusta National. There is something that seems eternal about Augusta. It's hard to imagine this corner of the world without golf, yet it's only been 85 years since Bobby Jones and Alister MacKenzie first broke ground at Augusta National, turning a former indigo farm and plant nursery into a masterpiece of golf architecture. We wanted to learn more about the events leading up to that legendary partnership, so we visited the Augusta Museum of History where we had the pleasure of meeting Executive Director Nancy Glaser and local author and sports historian Stan Byrdy. Together they shared a number of amazing stories and told us about the series of events that led to Augusta's rise in the world of golf.
