“Golf was meant to romance and torment us, to introduce us to glorious landscapes only to remind us of our mortality, …nowhere is this truth captured so well and so regularly as at the Masters.” -Masters Memories…Masters Memories is a collection of true stories recounting many of the incidents, from the first Masters in 1934 to the present.
They are stories that have contributed to the lore and legend of the Masters, gathered over several decades of conversations with the players who won, and some who have just missed winning. These recollections include many from the principal figures featured in the Masters, from Jones to Coe to Kuchar, from Sarazen to Nicklaus to Tiger Woods, and represent eventful moments from the first sixty-five years of the Masters Tournament.
These stories remind us that the Masters and its extraordinary golf course are designed to unmask the emotions and character of players as surely as any in golf and that it is a tournament as elegant and merciless as the game it celebrates.
