Some US Masters Golf History
One Of two owners, Bob
Jones always dreamed of a course that would take
advantage of the natural landscape of the area, and
create beauty that all could behold. He found the
perfect land in Augusta and hired Scottish golf course
architect Dr. Alister Mackenzie to design the course.
The longest hole is #2, with its 575 yards and a par 5.
It is said to be very difficult, but perhaps not
as difficult as hole 13, with the water hazard that
protects the green. The tournament is always played at
Augusta National, in Augusta, Georgia.
The Masters Golf Green jacket
In addition to a cash award, the winner of the
tournament is presented with a distinctive green jacket,
awarded since 1949, and highly coveted among
professional golfers. The green coat is actually the
official coat worn by members of Augusta National while
on the club grounds; each Masters winner becomes an
honorary member of the club. Winners keep their jacket
for the first year after their first victory, then
return it to the club to wear during tournament week
each following year. The tradition that began in 1949,
when Sam Snead was the winner. The Green Jacket is only
allowed to be removed from Augusta National by the
reigning champion, after which it must remain at the
club. The only exception to this rule is Gary Player,
who failed to return his jacket after his 1961 victory,
despite the club's insistence that he do so.

Trevor Immelaman

Immelman followed in the illustrious footsteps of
Gary Player by becoming only the second South
African winner of the Masters Tournament at Augusta
National. The 28 year old completed a wire-to-wire
victory with a final round of 75 for a three stroke
triumph over World Number One, Tiger Woods.

Immelman, who finished at
8-under 280, started the week by playing a practice
round with his boyhood idol, Gary Player, who won his
third Masters in 1978 and set a record by playing for
the 51st time.
Immelman handled the wind and pressure of Augusta
National far better than anyone chasing him Sunday to
win The Masters, the first South African in a green
jacket in 30 years.
