Heaters at Augusta

     Augusta is one of the most famous golf courses in of golf.it holds the annual Masters championship that has been around for 78 years. One thing that makes this course cool is the blooming of the plants. How does this happen after winter with all the ice and snow on the fairwars. Well back in 2005 Augusta installed Heaters underneath the greens and flowers. 

    This allows Augusta to let flowers bloom and greens not to die so when the masters come around in spring the course can look good. One fact is that when the winter storm happened in Atlanta this year and iced everything over it was 20° outside and on the greens at Augusta it was a solid 70°. 

    They control this from a room inside one of the cabins and a shed in the trees around hole 12. This year the course looks better than ever for the masters.
