THE 18 MASTERS OF AUGUSTA

AUGUSTA, GA.» They build and renovate and paint. But they don’t touch the furniture. The 18 holes your grandpa watched are the same ones you’ll watch this weekend. It’s why the Masters feels like golf coming home, instead of a tent battalion that lays waste to your U.S. Open and PGA Championship sites.

When you play the same holes, you hear the same bleak splash, feel the same thunderous noise, see the same things that aren’t really there.

It’s also an endless series of rematches with an opponent that, unlike the contestant, toughens with age. No. 1, 445 yards, par 4

Official name: Tea Olive. Suggested name: Rake In Face. With unfavorable winds, this is the harshest alarm clock in town. It’s been among the four toughest holes the past six Masters and ranked No.1 last year, with only 18 birdies and 16 double bogeys.

No. 2, 575 yards, par 5

Official name: Pink Dogwood. Suggested name: Fourgone.

It’s the last birdie chance for a while, if you can handle downhill lies. But when you lose your drive left, they call it the Delta Counter — i.e., call the airlines, you’re done. Louis Oosthuizen double-eagled No. 2 in 2012, when he lost a playoff to Bubba Watson.

No. 3, 350 yards, par 4

Official name: Flowering Peach. Suggested name: Pocket Hercules. One day they’ll be driving this green, but for now the smart ones lay back and avoid the rollback from the front. This is where Jeff Maggert’s sand shot hit the lip, bounced off his chest and dealt him a 2-stroke penalty and a 7 in 2003. No. 4, 240 yards, par 3

Official name: Flowering Crab Apple.

Suggested name: Palm to Forehead.

The site of the only palm tree on the property, this is a withering challenge and maybe the toughest two-putt of them all. It has been aced once, by Jeff Sluman in 1982. No. 5, 455 yards, par 4

Official name: Magnolia. Suggested name: Unicorn (because hardly anybody sees it).

It’s the most remote point from the clubhouse and has a treacherous green that Cary Middlecoff fourputted in losing to Jackie Burke in 1956. Likely to be lengthened in 2019. No. 6, 180 yards, par 3

Official name: Juniper.

Suggested name: Sweatbox.

The toughest green to watch, with no grandstand and an unrelenting sun. For the players, it’s another rocket green from an elevated tee. No. 7, 450 yards, par 4

Official name: Pampas.

Suggested name: Bullseye. Front bunkers make the green look like a raft in the ocean, and there’s little room for driving error. After Mark O’Meara convinced Tiger Woods to hit a driver instead of 1iron, Woods played No. 7 in 3-under in 2001.

No. 8, 570 yards, par 5

Official name: Yellow Jasmine. Suggested name: Oxygen. You’ll need it after this unforgiving climb. Fred Couples has played this hole 122 times and is 51-under.

No. 9, 480 yards, par 4

Official name: Carolina Cherry. Suggested name: Sharknado. A downhill drive and an uphill approach to a green that spits back anything struck half-heartedly. Greg Norman’s meltdown in 1996 featured exactly that shot.

No. 10: 495 yards, par 4

Official name: Camelia. Suggested name: Dramamine. Lee Westwood found himself leading on a Sunday when he came to the 10th and suddenly had dizzy spells, and Rory McIlroy had to play from the cabins in 2011. It’s the toughest hole in Masters history. .

No. 11, 505 yards, par 4

Official name: White Dogwood. Suggested name: De-Mize.

Ben Hogan said if you ever saw him on this green in two shots, he made a mistake: Dogleg left, thirsty pond at greenside. The site of Larry Mize’s epic chip-in to win an ’87 playoff with Norman. No. 12, 155 yards, par 3

Official name: Golden Bell. Suggested name: Solitary.

The most consequential par-3 in golf, and it’s doubly bizarre because no fans are at the green. You’ve never known lonely until you’re putting for a double bogey after a splash in Rae’s Creek. Enough green jackets have been lost here to fill a Goodwill, including Jordan Spieth’s in 2016. No. 13, 510 yards, par 5

Official name: Azalea.

Suggested name: T-Rex.

It’s the meanest dinosaur around, a short par-5 that can be compromised with a drive over the trees but still features Rae’s Creek and a nervy third shot for those who lay up. Phil Mickelson reached with a second shot in between two trees, out of pine straw, when he won in 2010. No. 14, 440 yards, par 4

Official name: Chinese fir. Suggested name: Orca. Somebody buried a whale at this green, and a poor approach is a contract to three-putt. Sergio Garcia’s birdie launched his pursuit of Justin Rose last year.

No. 15, 530 yards, par 5

Official name: Firethorn. Suggested name: Squire.

The biggest galleries on the course gather here to watch carnage, from those who flirt with water in front of the green and behind. Gene Sarazen’s double-eagle in 1935 is still the most treasured shot in Masters history.

No. 16, 170 yards, par 3

Official name: Redbud. Suggested name: Aces Wild. There have been eight holes-in-one here since 2010, with a juicy Sunday pin position. It was the scene of Woods’ last-roll chip-in in 2012.

No. 17, 440 yards, par 4

Official name: Nandina. Suggested name: Yes Sir. Verne Lundqvist’s call of Jack Nicklaus’ birdie putt in 1986 will live forever. It has already outlived the Eisenhower Tree, felled by a winter storm. The ex-President kept hitting the tree and kept asking the club to remove it. The club refused.

No. 18, 465 yards, par 4

Official name: Holly.

Suggested name: Slice of Life. The tee shot requires a power fade into a sliver of a fairway, but a ton of birdie putts have won the Masters here, including Sandy Lyle’s dancing birdie out of a bunker in 1988.
