Ode to Golf
An ode to Golf. A Worldwide Golf Museum is exactly what this nation and world needs. Located near the prestigious Augusta National Course in Augusta, Georgia, this golf museum will attract golf lovers and not all the same. Close enough to Atlanta, guests will be able to drive from this Southern metropoilis to see the great golf wonder. Par three holes, biographies, and an overall timeline of golf through the ages using videos, diagrams, models, and interactive exhibits will attract visitors old and young. This new museum will co-exist with the Augusta National Course. With a facade like that of a golf clubhouse, exhibit rooms of golf from different eras, and actual par 3 holes, golfers from the Augusta course will be excited to come learn the vivid history of the game. While most people know that golf started from sticks, the first balls were indeed stones, and the first real golf links is the Old Course at St. Andrews, this golf museum will show the other side that not everyone knows. The evolution of the golf ball from stone to dimpled high-flier, biographies of those influential golfers such as King James IV to Tiger Woods will all be displayed.

augusta is an interesting choice of placement. while i agree that it is the premier golf course, it also has a lot of controversy based upon its membership status. since it has never allowed a woman member and its history of not allowing black members, though it finally did in 1990. so that might turn off some of the audience for the museum.
