Augusta National hole # 12: Golden Bell

There are many difficult holes are seared into Masters Tournament history, but none of them attracted by the beauty and challenge like the par-3 12th hole with the impressive name Golden Bell.

One of the world's most famous golf holes, this is Augusta National's shortest par three. Club selection is often difficult, as varying winds can require anything from a six-iron to a nine-iron for Masters competitors. The three strategically placed bunkers make it imperative that players land their shots on the putting surface. Golfers walk across the Ben Hogan Bridge to reach the green. The 12th hole has been a heartbreaker from the start. Its fickle winds, narrow green and looming water have thwarted many runs for the Masters title.
