Most golfers have a bucket list of courses they would like to play or at the very least, visit once in their lives. If they are passionate enough, they can camp out for a spot at Bethpage Black, save up to experience Pebble Beach, organize an overseas trip to St. Andrews, or if they know the right people, pull some strings to play Merion or Oakmont. But the one course that lingers just beyond the realm of possibilit­y for most golfers is Augusta National.

For the select few that are fortunate enough to even enter or play at golf's greatest sanctuary, it is surely an experience that will resonate with them for the rest of their lives.
