There’s something magical about springtime in the South, especially if you’re lucky enough to call North Augusta home. The azaleas are in full bloom, the air is warm but not stifling, and the hum of excitement builds as the Masters rolls into town. For locals like me, Augusta National isn’t just a golf course—it’s a symbol of pride, tradition, and beauty that feels as much a part of our identity as the Savannah River that separates us from its hallowed grounds.
