April: GOLF
The Masters is about Aiken as well as Augusta. The tradition of the best golfers coming to Aiken to prepare for the Masters meant that Ben Hogan, Byron Nelson, Bobby Jones, Sam Snead all came to our Palmetto Golf Club. The Aiken Golf Club was the site of play for some of the best lady golfers such as Patty Berg and the Babe (Didrikson). The courses of Aiken County today are spectacular: Woodside, Houndslake, Sage Valley, the River Club, Cedar Creek and so many more! A golfers paradise!
