Within five years, Palmetto expanded to eighteen holes, while a nearby Augusta course began as a modest nine-hole layout at the Hotel Bon Air. The images and captions capture not just courses, but a culture—winter rituals, resort hotel lobbies, and the social networks that helped the sport grow into a national fascination.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat you see in the images\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eHistoric courses and architecture, from Palmetto's sand greens to early Augusta layouts.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eIconic resorts and hotels that hosted presidents and leading figures in American life.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eContemporary scenes of prominent players and communities who shaped golf's early chapters.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs the century turned, the Augusta–Aiken region became a sought-after winter retreat for power, wealth, and style.
