With all this wintry weather the UK has been having, I thought we have had a few snowy pics by now ?

I will start it off .

Great picture Brian - isn't the sea an amazing colour? With such surrounds even Enbo looks glamorous! Feel free to post some more!

If that is Enbo, then the course must be Royal Dornoch? 

Just testing my Scottish geography ;)

Thanks Brian and John.

It has struck me before that this is perhaps the best way to anaylze architecture, i.e. if one is going to try to judge the architecture from pictures only, it's best to do it when the hole/course is covered in snow.  The snow covers up a lot of the distracting/unimportant bits, and leaves us looking at just the general shapes and contours and key 'relationships' (e.g. green sites in relationship to fairway angles).

I agree Peter.

And this might be the 'opposite' of the snow-covered course:  it is harder to examine architecture when it is snowing during the round, like it was for me on Thanksgiving morning:

Some light snow and long winter shadows can really bring out the contours (you know, the ones we say are hard to get a feel for from photos).

On tree lined courses, snowy pictures show the true available fairway width.  Lots of tight courses wouldn't be so tight if they eliminated or reduced the rough.  I think  our eyes are often drawn to a narrow ribbon of fairway, which certainly makes the playing corridor seem quite narrow.  Cover the whole thing with snow and the claustrophobia is reduced.  I recall noticing this last year with some pictures that people posted.

Thats another from Dornoch if I'm not mistaken. The snow shows up beautifully the little ridge that runs across the green and which makes recovery shots so hard.

I have a friend who is in St.Andrews this weekend for a wedding (The Peat Inn, the jammy Sod !)

Staying at the Russacks this was the view that he awoke to this morning.

I can see the ghost of Old Tom heading across the links for his morning dip ...... YIKES !

Some wonderful shots gang! I don't know about you folks, but there is almost a serene rightness about the links and other courses being buttoned up and cloaked in snow for a spell. I think great golf ground benefits from some down time, just like we do.

That shot of #10 at Dornoch is a cracker! Thanks Brian.

Jack, another super shot. Where is that?

That's the 10th at Carne, looking back towards the tee and clubhouse. It was on the club's facebook page. It's nice with the mountains in the background.
