Augusta: Home of the Master's Tournament Book

Golf fans from around the world, here is a book of almost everything you want to know about the prestigious Augusta National Golf Club, home of the arguably number one golf course in the world and site of the notable Masters Tournament. Steve Embanks, author of Augusta: A Revealing Look Inside America's Most Intriguing Golf Club and long time attendee of the Masters Tournament, began researching the book ever since his first term paper as a junior in high school eighteen years ago. Since then, "he has done exhaustive research and interviewed many people to make the book come together, Crisp writing makes it a page-turner like a good mystery novel," says the Huntsville Times.

Being an unauthorized book about Augusta National, it is natural to assume the book focuses on the negativity of the clubs secrecy, and gender and racial issues. Although Eubanks does detail the negatives, the book is hardly a slam on the club. It reveals all of the positive aspects, discloses some of the clubs secrets as well as citing the negatives. "Eubanks' candid, detailed anecdotes about the powers behind Augusta National-particularly iron-fisted chairman Clifford Roberts-make this an appealing book," says the Tribune & Times. The next time you are watching the Masters and are awed by the ethereal aura of the Augusta National Golf Club read Augusta for as the Tribune & Times says, "it brings the heavenly course back to earth and that's refreshing."
