For the past 60 years Harison was the starter for the Masters tournament. Augusta National members served as pall bearers.
Harison was 82.

While everyone knows that Bobby Jones built his dream golf course in Augusta... it was the Harison family that shaped the landscape for Jones and paved the way for what would become Augusta's golf future.
