18 Hole Names at Augusta National

Augusta National Golf Club, located in Augusta, Georgia, will be home to The Masters 2013 from April 8-14. Though its not-so-distant history has seen many firsts such as its first allowed black members in 1990, and the first women members in 2012, this private organization cannot and should not hang its head over its natural beauty.
