From Booklist
Here is the perfect antidote for golf fans sick of the controversy over female membership at Augusta National Golf Club. There have been numerous histories of the Masters Tournament, of course, but Sowell takes a fresh approach. Rather than following the tournament chronologically, from 1934 to the present, he offers capsule histories of each hole on the Augusta course, noting facts about its construction and redesign over the years and then reporting on how the various holes have affected the outcome of the tournament through history. Even casual fans will remember the big moments associated with the most famous holes (e.g., Sarazen's double eagle on the fifteenth in 1935, the "shot heard round the world"), but Sowell digs considerably deeper, unearthing forgotten but fascinating bits of action that bring out the flavor of the entire tournament and the personality of the 18 holes that make up golf's most revered course. Politics may keep the azaleas from blooming at Augusta this year, but Sowell gives us the Masters in full flower. Bill Ott
