The Masters golf tournament weaves a hypnotic spell. It is the toughest ticket in sports, with black-market tickets selling for $10,000 and more. Success at Augusta National breeds legends, while failure can overshadow even the most brilliant of careers. But as Curt Sampson, author of the bestselling Hogan, reveals in The Masters, a cold heart beats behind the warm antebellum façade of this famous Augusta course. And that heart belongs to the man who killed himself on the grounds two decades ago. Club and tournament founder Clifford Roberts, a New York stockbroker, still seems to run the place from his grave. An elusive and reclusive figure, Roberts pulled the strings that made the Masters the greatest golf tournament in the world. His story--including his relationship with presidents, power brokers, and every golf champion from Bobby Jones to Arnold Palmer to Jack Nicklaus--has never been told. Until now.        The Masters is an amazing slice of history, taking us inside the presidency of Dwight D. Eisenhower, Augusta's most famous member. It is a look at how the new South coexists with the old South: the relationships between blacks and whites, between Southerners and Northerners, between rich and poor--with such characters as James Brown, the Godfather of Soul; the great boxer Beau Jack; and Frank Stranahan, the playboy golfer and the only white pro ever banned from the tournament. The Masters is a spellbinding portrait of a tournament unlike any other.

The Golf Gym Power Swing Trainer - Masters Edition The Golf Gym - Masters Edition contains all three PowerCord resistance levels. The original golf-specific training device?first introduced in 1988 in the pages of Golf Magazine and Golf Illustrated. No other golf training aid can make this claim. It continues to be used by fitness instructors, trainers, golf and health professionals, and chiropractors around the world to improve, strengthen and refine the specific muscles used in the game of golf. * So simple, anyone can use it. * So effective, anyone can benefit. * So portable, you can use it anywhere and anytime. Designed by golf professionals and sports physiologists the Golf Gym PowerSwing Trainer patented combination of the biomechanically unique strengthening qualities of pure, hand-dipped Latex PowerCord and the ProPerfect Training Grip develops proper swing habits and muscle memory by exercising golf-specific muscle groups, including the rotator cuff region of the shoulder, hips, back and stomach muscles. The PowerSwing Trainer features a molded-grip designed to help users grip the club correctly-and securely. By increasing strength, flexibility and clubhead speed, it provides a golf-specific workout and muscle resistance while reducing the risk of injury. Shoulder and Back Muscles Twenty-five exercises designed to strengthen the muscles used in golf, including the rotator cuff region of the shoulder, hips, back and stomach muscles. A program of just 10 minutes a day, three times per week is all most golfers need to remain golf-ready*. Besides improving muscle strength to add yards to your game, use the PowerSwing Trainer in the off-season to stay in condition and for warming up before your round. It is the perfect all around golf fitness regimen. Grip and Hands Grip specific exercises help to improve your golf grip, and strengthen your hands, wrists and forearms by utilizing the GOLFGYM ® ProPerfect Training reminder Grip. These muscles are frequently overlooked, but are extremely important to your setup, take away, impact and follow through. Easy to Use Anchor with either foot for several exercises or incorporate a closed door for additional exercises. Either way, using the PowerSwing Trainer is simple. No complicated instructions, weights, settings or set-up required. Number One for Sixteen Years! Why? * The Patented PowerCords No other resistance band-based fitness device has these qualities: pure hand dipped latex rubber, reinforced connections at the handle for safety, strength and long-lasting use. Most importantly, the center pad keeps the bands from tangling with your body and ensures the fluid motion necessary to mimic the perfect golf swing. * ProPerfect Training Grip The ProPerfect Training Grip is designed to give you the "feel" of a perfect grip while training reminding your fingers and hands to stay in that position throughout your entire swing, and it's available in both right and left hand configurations. * Complete Training DVD and Exercise Program Manual A 24 minute DVD and poster-size exercise program manual accompanies every PowerSwing Trainer Personal and Masters Edition. No tool is effective without thorough educational materials; just another way to ensure your program is not only golf-specific, but golf-safe. Each Golf Gym PowerSwing comes with a 25 minute instructional DVD that demonstrates how to: * Develop proper swing habits and muscle memory by exercising golf-specific muscle groups including the muscles * in the rotator cuff region of the shoulder, hips and trunk * Build a more consistent golf swing to improve club control and shot accuracy. * Promote added strength and club speed while adding distance to shots * Develop better balance and posture while enhancing overall fitness * Guide movement to simulate the motion and "feel"

The Masters. For any golf fan, the words evoke the immortal greats of the game and their quest for the most prized trophy of all -- the green jacket of Augusta National Golf Club. But behind the legendary links and timeless traditions is one of the most overlooked and misunderstood figures in the history of the Masters and Augusta National: Clifford Roberts, the club's chairman from its founding in 1931 until shortly before his death in 1977. Roberts' meticulous attention to detail, his firm authoritarian hand, and his refusal to settle -- even for perfection -- helped build the Masters into the tournament it is today, and Augusta National into every golfer's idea of heaven on earth. David Owen was granted unprecedented access to the archives and records of Augusta National Golf Club. He has produced an honest and affectionate chronicle of the Masters, from its conception to its modern greatness, and a fascinating portrayal of Clifford Roberts -- whose perseverance and pride forged the Augusta National we know today.
