What to know about August National
Augusta National Golf Club’s most famous area is nicknamed “Amen Corner.”
Golf journalist Herbert Warren Wind coined the phrase “Amen Corner” in a legendary Sports Illustrated article published on April 21, 1958 when he recapped the Masters Tournament won by Arnold Palmer.
Amen Corner is the approach shot to the par-4 11th hole, the par-3 12th, and the tee shot at the par-5 13th hole. It’s at the lowest level of the hilly golf course co-designed by club founder Bobby Jones and Alister MacKenzie and the amphitheater setting behind the 12th tee, with huge bleachers and thousands of patrons, has been the site for numerous Masters dramas since the tournament began in 1934.
The hole considered the most difficult on the course is 11.
It’s a downhill, tree-lined, watery and slick-greened challenge that often serves as a mid-round roadblock. No. 11, named White Dogwood, has produced the highest average in relation to par in The Masters since 1942. The average score on the 520-yard par 4 has been 4.304.
