Whenever I played the thirteenth or fifteenth hole at Augusta, [my dad] had a habit of kneeling down, cupping his hands and yelling, “Lay up, lay up!” He was just beside himself every time I got near the water. BEN CRENSHAW

I am no lover of the habit of giving names to holes, but the trees and shrubs which give identity to the holes at Augusta are real enough: flowering peach, magnolia—the drive is alive with them too; yellow jasmine, Carolina cherry, camellia—never was the iron gauntlet of challenge more skillfully concealed in velvet.  BOBBY JONES

Augusta is only fifty minutes by air from Atlanta, everything is just as you have remembered.

Mounds were often introduced instead of bunkers as they are more pleasing in appearance, less costly to maintain and often serve well to emphasize strategic conceptions. The course is not intended so much to punish severely the wayward shot as to reward adequately the stroke played with skill—and judgement. During the Masters tournament, with the cooperation of the weatherman, we try to keep our greens surfaces firm and the putting speed quite fast. We conceive that the ideal here is that our greens should hold a shot well-struck with backspin but should not hold an improperly played ball. BOBBY JONES
