The Masters Paintings and Prints
Played every April at Augusta National, the only major championship held on the same course each year.
The Masters Tournament is played every April at Augusta National Golf Club in Augusta, Georgia. Bobby Jones and Clifford Roberts founded it, and the first edition was played in 1934 as the Augusta National Invitation Tournament. It is the first of the four men's major championships each year and the only one held on the same course every time, which is why the course and the championship are so closely bound together in golfers' minds.
The Masters is an invitational event with a smaller field than the other majors, made up of past champions, leading professionals and a handful of amateurs. Its traditions are among the best known in sport: the green jacket presented to the winner, the Champions Dinner hosted by the previous year's winner, the Par 3 Contest on the eve of the tournament, and the ceremonial opening tee shots by honorary starters.
Because the course never changes, the Masters has built a store of memory tied to particular holes. Amen Corner, the stretch around the 11th, 12th and 13th named by the writer Herbert Warren Wind in 1958, is where the tournament is often decided on Sunday. Rae's Creek crosses in front of the 12th green, and the par-5 13th and 15th invite players to go for the green in two. Each hole carries the name of a tree or shrub, a legacy of the nursery that once occupied the property, and in early April the azaleas and dogwoods are often in bloom.
Linda Hartough's Masters subjects are the holes of Augusta National: Amen Corner, the named holes from Flowering Crab Apple at the 4th to Holly at the 18th, and the clubhouse. Several are offered in editions from different years.

Amen Corner
The year 1958 was eventful at the Masters Tournament. Two bridges across Rae’s Creek were dedicated in honor of Ben Hogan and Byron Nelson. A young pro named Arnold Palmer won the tournament for the first time. And Amen Corner was born. Actually, the famous stretch of golf holes — Nos. 11, 12 and 13 at Augusta National Golf Club — had been in existence for 25 years. But a catchy nickname for the three holes didn’t exist until Herbert Warren Wind, the golf writer for Sports Illustrated, came up with the term to describe the action in 1958.
