Hearing a Masteras broadcast is really a bit like being fully a person in a fairly chummy team, because the announcers experience their insider status by falling cryptic references to the aCrowas Nesta, aEisenhower Treea and aAmen Corner.a If you're just breaking into the game (and perhaps even if youave been watching for some time), it may all be very obtuse. But never fear: the GolfBlogger is here now with a convenient guide to some of the more famous landmark references: Raeas CreekNamed after former property owner John Rae (Rae died in 1789), the creek runs along the back of the 11th green, twists in-front of the 12th green, and then passes ahead of the 13th tee. Itas crossed by the Hogan Bridge at the 12th and the Nelson Bridge at the 13th. The Hogan BridgeThis bridge, made of stone, joins the fairway of the 12th to the green. It was named after Ben Hogan in 1958, following his then-course record of 272 strokes more than 72 holes in 1953. The Nelson BridgeDedicated to Byron Nelson in 1958, the Nelson Bridge honors his 1937 Masters performance. It links the teeing ground of the 13th to the fairway. The Sarazen BridgeThis bridge is named for Gene the tournament was stamped by Sarazen, whose double eagle in the 1935 Masters in to the public recognition. It crosses a lake on 15. The Eisenhower TreePresident Eisenhower was a part of Augusta National and spent a great deal of time at the club. Regardless of playing it so often, however, he had serious trouble with a specific pine tree located on the 17th hole, about 210 yards out. At at 1956 team meeting, Eisenhower suggested that the tree be removed. He didnat get his wish, but in the Eisenhower Tree a delicious bit of irony, the loblolly pine has ever after been known. The Eisenhower CabinThis cabina'one of ten on the propertya'was created for President Eisenhower to Secret Service requirements. Leading porch is adorned with a presidential Eagle. Ikeas PondEisenhower spent a lot of time at Augusta. One day, while on a through the woods on the property, he thought he found the perfect place for a fishing pond. Chairman Clifford Roberts agreed, the dam was built and today the pool is properly called. The Big Oak TreeLocated on the golf course side of the clubhouse, the pine probably is 150 years old. Itas major. Itas a walnut. Hence, the name. The Crowas NestLocated only beneath the club cupola, the Crowas home offers liveable space for five. Itas most notoriously employed by amateur players invited to the Masters Tournament. The Crowas Nest measures 30a x 40a and consists of a single room, split into a fourth with two and three offices with single beds. The Cupola, which rises above the space can only just be achieved with a hierarchy. Magnolia LaneThe garage from Washington Road to the club is flanked by 61 large Magnolia trees, dating back to to the 1850s. Magnolia Lane is 330 yards long. The Founders CircleLocated before the clubhouse at the end of Magnolia Lane, the Founders Circle consists of plaques praising club leaders Bobby Jones and Clifford Roberts. The Record FountainLocated to the left of the 17th tee, the Record Fountain was developed to commemorate the 25th anniversary of The Masters tournament. It shows the class records and Masters contest winners. The Par 3 FountainNext to the initial tee on the Par 3 course, the fountain features a listing of Par 3 Winners. John Sneadas title is first, from his 1960 success.
