This Day in Golf--Nov. 6

The new press building at Augusta National was opened last year to incredible fanfare, and deservedly so. It is miles advanced from the Quonset Hut first used at the club for the Masters. Whether it was the old or new places, however, the Bartlett Lounge has always been there. It's named after Charlie Bartlett, the Chicago Tribune golf editor, who was a key writing figure in the formative years of the tournament. He passed away on this day in 1967.
