Mack Baltzegar's watercolor of the fifteenth hole at Augusta National, "Firethorn," captures the strategic opportunities and natural beauty of this crucial par 5. The hole is presented in lush detail, with the fairway leading to a green that is reachable in two for the boldest of players. The green itself is guarded by a pond that demands careful consideration, and a well-placed collection of bunkers ready to challenge any approach shot.
The painting is imbued with the anticipation of a risk-reward decision that "Firethorn" embodies, especially during the closing rounds of the Masters. The vibrant azaleas and the reflection of the sky in the water hazard add to the hole's aesthetic appeal and underscore the drama that unfolds here.

About this Collection
Situated along the lush banks of the Savannah River and emerging from the oldest nursery in the South, the Augusta National Golf Club is a symbol of the grace and legacy of golf. 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 the Masters as it was in a former time.
Created by the skilled Mack Baltzegar, inspired by his experience at a 1968 practice round and his meticulous photography of each hole, these artworks vividly depict the quintessence of Augusta National before its contemporary changes. Acting as a portal to the past, we view this era through the perspective of a man who discovered comfort 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 Augusta in the days before it was reshaped by modern times.
