Augusta, Ga. - No record is safe in golf, not in the era of titanium drivers and lab-engineered golf balls, personal trainers and launch monitors, swing gurus and sports psychologists.
Tiger Woods and the legion of fearless kids he inspired who swing out of their shoes have opened our eyes to the fact that, in the immortal words of Adidas, impossible is nothing.

Clifford Roberts (1931-76): He was the brains behind most of what is the Masters Tournament today. He joined with golfer Bobby Jones to organize the club and start the invitational tournament. Innovations included mounds for spectators to view play and bringing television to the tournament in 1956. Roberts died of a self- inflicted gunshot wound on the grounds of Augusta National in 1977.
Bill Lane (1977-78): Lane served a very short period of time as chairman. He succeeded Roberts in 1977 but soon became ill and was hospitalized. Notable occurrences during his tenure were the Par 3 Course being converted to bentgrass in preparation for installation on the main course and the patron badge waiting list being closed in 1978. Hord Hardin bacame acting chairman in 1979, and Lane died in 1980.

If you want to go to the quietest place on Earth, where nothing buzzes, blips, beeps, or even bleats, then you'll need a ticket to Augusta National Golf Club during the Masters Tournament.
Although the golf course may be popping with the brilliant pink, fuchsia and white of a bazillion azaleas and dogwoods and loud with lavender-hued wisteria, you'll not hear a human sound in the few seconds just before the best golfers in the world tee off into the Georgia sunshine.
