wow thats ridiculous! but cool!

Mike that is awesome. Can you name sources from where you got the pics.

[mikpga]

a friend of a friend...

[Carolina Golfer 2]

From what I understand if you are one of the amateur qualifiers that made it into the Masters, you get unlimited access for practice rounds. Imagine how bummed you'd be right now

But those are some awesome pics!!

Looks like we're seeing the heating system for the greens in action.

[mikpga]

It is interesting, most of the pictures I have show the greens without snow...

But number 16 is half covered, number 11 appears to be completely covered...

They probably just running the sub-airs. I would think that they do the same job as long as there isn't ice on the greens. Those things are redonkulas, they sound like Blackhawks landing on top of you.

Two more...

Somehow, even though they are beautiful pictures, they are very discouraging. I want to see Augusta National in all of its blooming glory! Has to be one of my favorite courses of all time.

I received these pics of Augusta National covered in snow from a friend of mine. I Thought I would share.

they should turn the heat on for the greens

[Scott@84]

Awesome pics, thanks for sharing.

[Mr. Fair]

That would be a sweet place to go sledding. Down #10 would be awesome!

Your not kidding! And they thought the Olympic Luge track was fast!

[youngwaldo]

They will be working 24/7 once the snow melts to get ready. I know they will not disapoint.

Wk

[mtsmith]

Nice Pics, gonna be soggy round that area for a while!!

Cant wait to see that place GREEN in a couple months!!

[ctgolfnut66]

Wow, incredible pics! It's somewhat comforting to know that we're not the only ones with snow

[wehttam13]

Tim Clark uses the right ball for those conditions anyway.

[Sabaka]

Cool pics! Hard to believe how different it will look in a couple of months.

Actually, snow is great for bent grass greens! In two weeks they will be awesome!!!

[nike darryn]

greens are prob still faster than mine!!! i would still play in snow to say i have played augusta!!!

[sharkhark]

freakin awesome pics..to see such a contrast between spring and this..its very cool. its even fun recognizing immediately the holes..even though it plays with your head seeing no color..its almost like a black n white pic. thanks for sharing.

[hogans71]

That's pretty wild...

Curious- how often do they get measurable snowfall in that area? Anybody?

[DoubleBogeyDawg]

This kind of accumulation in the Augusta area is VERY rare. It snows down here, but rarely do we get 4-5 inches.

[Mizgoodie]

i have some more pics of it covered in snow... let me check if i can post them... very inside source

[Asleep]

Cool pictures.

I was thinking the same thing myself. How frequently or infrequently does this happen there?

[laseranimal]
