Golf Product Description In Augusta, author Steve Eubanks The Augusta National Golf Club in eastern Georgia is an American icon shrouded in intrigue. It is every bit as exclusive as its prestigious Masters Tournament. Behind the wondrous scenes and memorable tournament play, however, resides a secretive and clannish club with a gentlemen-only membership of three hundred. Included are many of the most powerful CEO's and executives in America. In Augusta, author Steve Eubanks penetrates Augusta National's carefully cultivated image. Mixing a deep respect for golf?s traditions with a scrutinizing curiosity, Eubanks offers dozens of insights and revelations. Topics explored include the founding of the club and design of it?s golf course; the significant role Clifford Roberts played in Augusta member-to-be Dwight Eisenhower's ascension to the presidency; Robert's suicide and the club?s subsequent loss of the pistol he used; the exclusion of African-American Charlie Sifford from the Masters field and Augusta?s impetuous relationship with CBS.
