THE MASTERS















"White Dogwood" Augusta National, Par 4

Thursday this week begins the best golf
tournament
of the year. Tiger Woods
returning
to the tour adds more than
just a little excitement
to the event.

This is my painting of "White Dogwood"
and represents the
beginning of what is
known as "Amen Corner" so
named in a
1958 Sports Illustrated article by
Herbert
Wind. Wind used the phrase to describe

Arnold Palmer's play through holes #11,
#12 and
#13. Palmer won the tournament
for his first
tour victory.

AAAHHH! Now I want to pull out my clubs, but it is cold and wet here in Oregon! Very nice painting though!
