Tragic end of Clifford Roberts, the man who got the Masters going Bobby Jones wanted to create a golf venue. Clifford Roberts facilitated the Augusta National in 1933 and was found dead from self-inflicted gunshot wounds there in 1977 Clifford Roberts, right, with starter Fred McLeod at the 1976 Masters Clifford Roberts, right, with starter Fred McLeod at the 1976 Masters. Photograph: Augusta National/Getty Friday 30 September 1977. The Augusta Chronicle’s front-page headline is profound: “Roberts found dead; Masters co-founder”. As detail is subsequently relayed, that the 83-year-old chairman of Augusta National had been discovered on the property with a self-inflicted gunshot wound, the widespread perception of Clifford Roberts is easy to detect. He was, the newspaper insisted, the chairman “with an iron hand”. Inside, an editorial portrays “a genius organiser” and “the indestructible man, the forceful personality whose iron will would normally carry him through any crisis, physical or otherwise”. In reality, deteriorating health proved too much for Roberts to bear. He had not been able to leave his bed during the Masters that year. He killed himself, just as his parents had done in what represents a horribly sad culmination of circumstances. Roberts, with hair cut and dressed in new pyjamas, was found close to the water on Augusta National’s par‑three course. Alongside a pistol were a brief note of apology to his wife and, by way of explanation, a copy of his medical records. The Roberts story is not one anyone in Augusta is encouraged to revisit, for pretty obvious reasons. Nonetheless, his role in the formation of not only a club but also one of sport’s most identifiable events is a fascinating one. It is generally overlooked. Roberts is virtually absent from view, save a three‑minute KZfaq clip which reveals his curious speaking style.

The fairways were not always in the best shape back in the day, but that has been rectified as well.

Notice how every caddie on the course is black. This is when The Masters still had all of Bobby Jones' original racist policies in effect - NO black golfers allowed to participate (so Tiger, like Lee Elder, Calvin Peete and others would not have been allowed to compete if he were around), and ALL golfers had to use one of the Augusta staff-caddies - all of whom were black. Funny thing is, despite the blatant discriminatory racial code, you never heard Jack Nicklaus or any of the white golfers complain about not being able to use their own personal white caddie, or you never saw any white caddies in Georgia file a lawsuit against the Masters Tournament for blatant discriminatory hiring practices. The racial policies at Augusta had been in effect since 1932 and here it is in 1972, still chuggin' along, 7 years after the 1965 Civil Rights Act supposedly outlawed such practices. The policy did not change until 1983, 50 years after it was established. The wholesale inaction here makes for an interesting contrast with today, where if just ONE black person gets a job or seat in a law school, a complaint or lawsuit is filed claiming "reverse discrimination." In fact, just last week (July 2022) the entire police department of a North Carolina town resigned en-mass, simply because the town for the first time hired a black city manager, after a grueling nationwide interview process with over 30 professionally experienced and undergraduate/graduate educated candidates. That's the reaction you get today when just ONE black person is competitively hired, but at The Masters in Augusta, owners and management for years instituted a systemic racial hiring policy where white caddies were excluded for decades from caddie jobs during Tournament play, AND NO WHITE PERSON FORMALLY COMPLAINED ABOUT THE DISCRIMINATION AND NO WHITE PERSON FILED A LAWSUIT against THE Masters to challenge and stop the practice. As 'Star Trek's' Spock might say, "Fascinating."

That's true. But don't fool yourself, those guys could play. The guys these days are better put together, bigger, and hit the gym. And they've all had swing coaches since they were kids. But golf is as much a game as a sport--sorta like pool. Most of it is great hand-eye and tons of practice. I watched Billy Casper once on a practice day at a senior tournament. No one around, just me watching him mess around the green with chips and putts. The guy was over 60, and at least 50 pounds overweight. He looked like a stroke really to happen. But man, he was an absolute wizard on that green. Never seen anything like it. So I thought, so that's why he won 51 times. I know I'm older, and am prone to think the old days were better, but I do think the guys back then were tougher competitors than the guys today with better bodies and swings. They came from rougher backgrounds; they had to be tougher to survive out there. No one can really know
