Masters Bobby Jones Charcuterie Plate - 11th Hole
The 11th Hole on the at Augusta National (White Dogwood) is one of the iconic holes on the course. All of the holes are named after flowers. The reason behind this theme is because the course was once a nursery. In 1857, the Berckmans family bought the land where Augusta National Golf Club is today. One year later, they started a plant nursery. When Prosper Berckmans died in 1910, the nursery shut down. Around 1930 Bobby Jones and Clifford Roberts were scouting land on which to build their dream golf club. They stumbled upon the land where the nursery once stood. They purchased the land for $70,000 in 1931. One of the first people Roberts and Jones hired was Prosper Berckmans' son, Louis Alphonse Berckmans, to help position or reposition the flowering plants and shrubs and trees that ultimately gave their names to the holes of Augusta National. The plate is approximately 6 1/4" x 9 1/4.
