CBS' Jim Nantz has the kind of backyard that would be a dream come true for any golf fan.

Over the weekend, the iconic sportscaster's Nashville home began to go viral as its backyard pays tribute to the iconic 13th hole at Augusta National with five different tee boxes.

Fans were loving Nantz's Masters setup on social media:

"Jim Nantz is a legend and icon," a user said.

"My boys would never come inside the house again," another replied.

"Married to the game," a fan commented.

"Would be sick until I [expletive] thin one through the neighbors wall," another person tweeted.

A few years ago, Nantz's other Pebble Beach home went viral with a similar setup that recreated the course's Par-3 on seven.

"The homage to Pebble Beach's No. 7 made perfect sense given that from the perch of the tee across the Bay you can see the actual hole off in the distance,” Nantz said, via Golfweek.

"It makes the backyard a playground," he added. "Not just for my kids but for me too."

Nantz's love of golf clearly extends beyond the microphone. It's cool to see him able to replicate some of these historic holes in his own backyard.
