The thirteenth hole, "Azalea," is beautifully captured in Mack Baltzegar's watercolor, showcasing the strategic challenges and natural splendor that make it an essential part of Amen Corner. In this depiction, the par 5, 475-yard hole is illustrated in vivid detail, highlighting the delicate balance of risk and reward that has led to many memorable moments in golf history.
The painting focuses on the artful arrangement of azaleas, which bring a burst of color to the scene, juxtaposed against the verdant fairway that curls around Rae's Creek. The creek, a defining feature of the hole, presents a hazard to players attempting to reach the green in two, while the quartet of bunkers elegantly frames the putting surface, challenging even the most skilled golfers.
Baltzegar's portrayal of "Azalea" is not just a faithful rendering of the landscape; it is imbued with the tension and drama that resonate as players navigate this crucial leg of Amen Corner. The wide expanse of sky, with its gentle clouds, offers a serene contrast to the concentration and precision demanded by the golf course below.

About this Collection:
Situated along the lush banks of the Savannah River and emerging from the oldest nursery in the South, this golf club symbolizes the grace and legacy of the sport. This distinctive collection of original artwork takes you on an enthralling journey through the renowned 18 holes and the historic clubhouse, capturing the magic of a famous golf tournament as it was in a former time.
Created by Mack Baltzegar, inspired by his experience at a 1968 practice round and his meticulous photography of each hole, these artworks vividly depict the essence of the course before its contemporary changes. Acting as a portal to the past, we view this era through the perspective of a man who found solace in golf while growing up as an orphan and found renewal in the game after his military service.
Assembled by Baltzegar’s family and aficionados of golf, this collection intertwines art, tradition, and the ethos of sportsmanship, presenting an exclusive glimpse into the untouched beauty and historic greens of a renowned golf course before it was reshaped by modern times.
