Amen Corner.

For those of my vintage you may have heard this name from the band of Andy Fairweather Low:

It seems they were named after a club (not a golf club!) as is mentioned on Youtube.

The Amen Corner at Augusta was apparently named after a jazz record:

There are other uses of the name:

All very fascinating don't you think?

I used to love Andy Fairweather-Low he could sing without actually opening his mouth...a kind of lead singing ventriloquist 😊

Not I, but I did go to see a Wednesday practice round a few years back.
