how many of these do you have in or around your yard? Favorite?
Saw the ornithologist post for the birdwatchers, this is for the plant people......
AUGUSTA NATIONAL HOLE NAMES
Hole 1: Tea Olive
Hole 2: Pink Dogwood
Hole 3: Flowering Peach
Hole 4: Flowering Crab Apple
Hole 5: Magnolia
Hole 6: Juniper
Hole 7: Pampas
Hole 8: Yellow Jasmine
Hole 9: Carolina Cherry
Hole 10: Camellia
Hole 11: White Dogwood
Hole 12: Golden Bell
Hole 13: Azalea
Hole 14: Chinese Fir
Hole 15: Firethorn
Hole 16: Redbud
Hole 17: Nandina
Hole 18: Holly
I think the original landowner before me must have been a Masters fan and obvious plant nut.
I don't have a Chinese Fir, Pink Dogwood, Flowering Peach tree, or Magnolia (thank God), but the rest I have in one place or another. 12 of 18 pretty good number.
Have one Pampas that is so out-of-place, but don't have the heart to get rid of it, so it abides alone. The Tea Olive and Cherry - love them, so pretty when flowering out.
Dozens of azaleas, 5 or 6 Dogwoods, obv beautiful this time of year. Camellias, Jasmines, Golden Bells, Redbuds, Hollies - everybody has those, they are everywhere around the South.
The Nandinas are a quandary.....most favorite and most hated at the same time. You can sure tell they are in the bamboo family, they are taking over it seems. I get a couple new ones every year. Pretty invasive. But they are so colorful in the Winter when the leaves turn and bright berries come out, esp in snow. But not sure I'd ever plant any if I didn't already have them. Stick with Holly or Firethorn for red/orange ornamental berry trees.

a nursery (plant kind, not baby kind). So yeah, think the family qualifies as plant nut.

Plant nut - probably describes me too 
7, 8, 10, 11, 12, 13, 16
I'm sure I'm going to leave something out, but we also have Peonies, Japanese Cherry Blossom, Hydrangea, Red Honey Suckle, Roses, Jane Magnolia, Loropetalum, Iris, Tulips, Hyacinth, Gardenia, Wisteria... definitely left some stuff out, but I can't think of them right now.
Just planted a summer garden of white Impatiens bordered by Caladiums. And, will probably plant a few more Annuals.

It is interesting that Augusta was a nursery prior to becoming the golf club. In theory, the holes were named for plants that could be found on those holes. I have been to Augusta many times and there are some that I've just never seen. Some were there at one time, but no longer. I think the bank as you come down 6 had juniper on it. There used to be some pampas grass behind 7 tee. the "Golden Bell" behind 12 green is there, it just past blooming and you don't really see it. There was a stand of nandina between 17 and 15(?) as was the pyracantha (firethorn). All that's gone. The redbud on 16 is a head scratcher. Never seen that, unless it's up where the grandstand was built. That is one plant nobody should have and should be outlawed. Along with bamboo.

follow up question for the Clemson horticulturists

which one of these will deer NOT eat?
I know they eat Azaleas, b/c I'm in the midst of Deer War 3. And I'll never have another magnolia tree ever again.
any tips?

I've read that American Boxwood is sometimes used as a deer repellent fence. I use a deer repellent spray that seems to work pretty well, but you have to spray it pretty frequently. I spray the parameter and the flowers/bushes that are low enough for deer to eat.
For me, there is a little bit of a trade off. I'll accept a certain amount of damage, because I like the deer roaming the neighborhood.

Having worked in that business, each time I recommended a plant the deer would not, that was the latest on the menu. In general I've found that deer do not like the leaf with a fuzzy texture. Some azaleas have that. If they're hungry enough, they'll eat just about anything. I know people that go out and urinate around their plant beds to deter deer (and I've heard all the jokes around that one). There are other "scent" type products out there. You need to re-apply each time it rains. I've heard some use a mixture of cinnamon and cayenne pepper and sprinkle that around. Again, each time it rains.....
The extension service should have a plant listing.
Around our neighborhood I discovered that somewhere somebody is feeding them. But what happens when they stop? Or go away for a while?
