Marking history: Notable commemorative golf plaques

When something historic happens in golf, it’s not long before the details are etched on a plaque to commemorate the moment.

The bridge, which takes golfers across Rae’s Creek to the 12th green at Augusta National Golf Club, was dedicated on April 2, 1958 in honor of Ben Hogan’s 1953 Masters tournament victory. The plaque predicted Hogan’s score of 274 might never be broken, but it was, 12 years later, when Jack Nicklaus posted 271 in 1965.
