The Masters is unquestionably the crown jewel of golf's major tournaments, not only for the transcendent performances it has inspired over the years, but for the incomparable sights and sounds of Augusta National and its environs, each distinct element contributing to the storied, rarefied atmosphere which draws tens of thousands to Georgia each spring. Seven Days in Augusta spans everything from the par-3 contest, to Amen Corner, to Butler Cabin. Mark Cannizzaro goes behind the scenes of the exclusive competition, covering wide-ranging topics including green jacket rituals, tales from The Crow's Nest atop the clubhouse, the extreme lengths some fans have gone to acquire tickets, and what goes on outside the gates during Masters week. Also featuring some of the most memorable and dramatic moments from the tournament's history, this is an essential, expansive look at golf's favorite event.

The Play of Allusion in the Historia Augusta

| Publisher | : University of Wisconsin Pres |

| Genre | : Biography & Autobiography |
| ISBN | : 0299306046 |
By turns outlandish, humorous, and scatological, the Historia Augusta is an eccentric compilation of biographies of the Roman emperors and usurpers of the second and third centuries. Historians of late antiquity have struggled to explain the fictional date and authorship of the work and its bizarre content (did the Emperor Carinus really swim in pools of floating apples and melons? did the usurper Proculus really deflower a hundred virgins in fifteen days?). David Rohrbacher offers, instead, a literary analysis of the work, focusing on its many playful allusions. Marshaling an array of interdisciplinary research and original analysis, he contends that the Historia Augusta originated in a circle of scholarly readers with an interest in biography, and that its allusions and parodies were meant as puzzles and jokes for a knowing and appreciative audience.

Though he was born and raised in Augusta, Georgia, home of fabled Augusta National and The Masters, all ten?year?old Trip Bowden knew about golf was that it took up too much of his father?s time. But all that changed once Bowden?s father, a local doctor, introduced him to one of his patients, legendary Augusta National Caddy Master Freddie Bennett. The two formed a friendship and Bowden soon absorbed Bennett?s passion for the sport. But it was the lessons Bennett taught Bowden off the course that had the profoundest impact on his life. Soon to be a major motion picture, Freddie & Me is a heartwarming tale of an uncommon bond forged through sport.
