Famed for their beauty and toughness, the 11th, 12th and 13th holes at the home of the Masters look even more incredible under a blanket of snow.
It doesn’t snow much in Georgia. According to the good folks at the University of South Carolina’s Climate Center, they average 1.2 inches a year, most of which usually falls in January.
But when it falls around Augusta, home of the most famous golf course in the world, Augusta National, then the images are spectacular.
Every April, the Masters treats us to a golfing, and visual, feast with beautifully manicured fairways, bright green greens and flowers stuffed into every available bit of space. It is a technicolour golf course that was made for TV broadcasts.
And now we know it looks pretty good in monochrome too. This picture, posted on Twitter yesterday, shows the famous approach to the far corner of the course, known as Amen Corner, under snow.
