 an excellent read for all golfers. November 11, 2000
martinm@fut.net (England)
An excellent expose of the elitist and racist golf club in the American deep south. Sampson tells it as it was without any Apple Pie. A great read by a very good author.
 Good Backswing, but no Follow Through July 10, 1999
The author starts well but doesn't finish as he jumps from the course, to the town to the townspeople, but with no real insights into the main subject: the golf course and the tournament itself. His one-sided portrayal of Cliff Roberts doesn't help the reader truly understand why Roberts spent much of his life devoted to Augusta National. The last chapter was out of joint with the rest of the text as he struggles to end what he started. Hard to recommend to others.
An interesting look at Masters and the town of Augusta. May 23, 1999
Curt Sampson has done it again with his new book, " The Masters." It is a very thorough look at the tournament, the men involved and the town which hosts the event.It is a great history of golf and of the struggles of a southern town. The author is not judgmental, he just gives you the facts. I would recommend this book not only to golf/Masters fans but also to those who enjoy southern history or reading about the history of a town.
A must read for the serious golfer. March 3, 1999
Sampson tells the story of the Masters the way it was, not the way Cliff Roberts would tell it. After you have been or before you go to Augusta, The Masters is a must read.
Good book, great author, golf enthusiasts will enjoy January 15, 1999
I have been to the tournament and knew a little of the history behind it. Sampsons book was very interesting and will be of interest to anyone following the game. He must have done a lot of research to find some of the people today, years after their Masters experience. I am going to attend the tournament again with a different outlook.
