Across from the shop on James Brown Boulevard sits a ramshackle house with broken windows. Catty-corner to the redlight is a strip joint.

Augusta National, with its Magnolia Lane and moneybag members, is just down Washington Road, but seems like a world away. Thanks to Woods, however, the Masters has become everyman's game in the tournament's hometown. There's more people looking at golf today because he won the Masters. That's not to say Augusta's black community didn't follow the Masters before Woods won the green jacket in his record-smashing 1997 victory. Any sporting event that clogs the roads, hotels and restaurants of a slow-paced Southern city is impossible to ignore.
