"Alan Shipnuck provides an unprecedented look inside the workings of Augusta National, taking the reader into the boardrooms down Magnolia Lane, where the private club that puts out its prettiest face each spring conducts its real business in the other months. Hootie vs. Martha, women's rights vs. the old Southern guard, Web-based rightist blogs vs. The New York Times, legal rights vs. moral force, corporate images vs. CEO privilege – read about all of these stories and more, in this lively, irreverent, meticulously-reported account of a Masters golf tournament like no other."
