 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.
 Great book for any golf fan or a wannabe January 9, 1999
Read it for the history-but put your name in for the lottery if you want to get into "the hallowed grounds". Proud to say I won last year's lottery and although the hotel accomodations were horrible, I entered again this year and won another set of tickets for another day of practice rounds--for a native Georgian to get onto the grounds is a victory indeed!!!
Incredible truth of The Masters in finally published! December 6, 1998
3 out of 3 found this review helpful
Having played at Augusta National and attending the tournament for over 25 years, everything Curt Sampson has to say is true. Until now, nobody had the courage to publish the truth, for fear of losing their "privileges". His book is not a revelation of new facts, but is more a history lesson of the elitist group of men who founded the club and the tournament and their relationship with the city of Augusta. The members are still pompous! We forget that what we see now on TV is far from how this event started. Very factual. Well written. Easy reading. A good gift for any golfer who dreams about Augusta National.
 Liked it, but not as much insight as the title suggests. December 1, 1998

It was an easy read but the author rambles from topic to topic. Plus, the research, as one might expect, was skimpy as far how the Augusta National CC operates. I would still recommend this book.
