SNOW STALLS MASTERS PREPARATION

Tuesday, March 2, 2010

With just over a month to go before the year's first major, snow continues to hamper the preparation of the Augusta National course for the Masters.
More than 25 centimetres of snow (about 20 centimetres above the usual monthly average) has fallen on the course during the past few weeks, with several big dumps turning the layout into a winter wonderland. Most greens have not been affected by the snow, as well as some heavy rainfalls, as they have heated coils buried beneath the surface.
The pictures here show what Augusta looked like on the morning of February 13, 54 days out from the first round of the Masters.
