Snow at Amen Corner

I'm certainly no expert on the meteorological history of Augusta, Ga., so I can't begin to tell you when the last time it snowed in that area. I can't tell you how much snow they get a year, if they get any snow at all. But I can tell you this: a snow-covered Amen Corner a little more than six weeks before the playing of the 2010 Masters was not part of the plans at August National.

You may have already seen these photos in one format or another — I'm making absolutely no claim to exclusivity here; they've been making the e-mail rounds and have appeared on several other golf blogs over the course of the last few days — but I certainly think they're noteworthy for our little blog, if for no other reason than they give a completely different look at and perspective on one of the most photographed golf courses in the world.

And before we move on to the photos, a disclaimer: I have no idea where they originated from. I received this in an e-mail that was a forward of a forward of another forward that had originally been forwarded from a forward ... well, you get the idea. I just found them way interesting. I hope you do too.

Nice Disclaimer, and smart.

Guess they won't need to ice down the Azaleas this year!
