Amen
to That: Golf Course Maps at Ball State
University Libraries
The
Masters Tournament, better known as "The Masters," begins this week at the
Augusta National Golf Club. The Ball
State University Libraries has unique cartographic resources for research and
learning, and one such resource is the World
Atlas of Golf available from the Atlas Collection on the second floor of
Bracken Library.
The
atlas was created by Mark Rowlinson and published in 2008. It features computer-generated maps of golf
courses around the world—from St. Andrews in Scotland to Casa De Campo in the
Dominican Republic. An entire section of
the atlas is dedicated to maps of the Augusta National Golf Course. The famous feature, “Amen Corner,” is
featured (above, click to enlarge).
Atlases
may be circulated for 28 days or longer.
