Augusta National golf course pictures of one of the most
famous and exclusive golf clubs in the world and
Home of The Masters. Augusta National golf club was
founded by Bobby Jones on the site of a former tree
nursery, opened for play in January 1933. Since 1934
it has been host of the annual Masters Tournament,
one of the four major championships in professional
golf.
Augusta National pictures include famous Amen
Corner. The 11th, 12th, and 13th holes at Augusta
National were termed "Amen Corner" by author Herbert
Warren Wind in a 1958 Sports Illustrated article. In
1958 Arnold Palmer outlasted Ken Venturi for the
Green Jacket with heroic escapes at Amen Corner.
Amen Corner also played host to prior Masters
moments like Byron Nelson's birdie-eagle at 12 and
13 in 1937, and Sam Snead's water save at 12 in 1949
that sparked him to victory.
