A fun compilation of random stories at the masters.

Enjoyable look into the Masters and the Augusta National if you're golf-obsessed like me. The short-story format provides a nice mix of teary-eyed,hallowed-ground narratives that can sometimes be too much and the more light-hearted stuff that's not too serious. I came out of this book knowing a lot about the course and tourney's history...useful data fills the back pages (past champions, names and yardages for each hole etc)
