more Pacific Dunes images from April 4th
« on: May 08, 2006, 10:24:17 PM »
Hello all,

I was blessed to make another trip to Bandon Dunes this past April.  Here are some pictures for your viewing pleasure.  I tried getting some different angles from what we have all seen a million times before.  As usual, the course played awesome.  Another great trip!!!

1st tee



2nd tee



2nd green



3rd tee



Par 3 5th hole



view of 6th green from tippy top of the right side embankment (parred this hole both rounds)



7th greens complex, simply fantastic



10th green, zoomed way in



My best picture of #13 to date.  I want my ashes spread here when I pass.  Also, captured some of the Sheep Ranch in the background.



It's never good when you are looking for your ball in this direction on #13!



14th green.  Into the wind round one I hit 6 iron.  Two days later, wind still, hit PW to 20' and birdied!



15th from the tee



15th looking in towards the green



Looking back towards 17th green and future home of the 4th course from upper 18th tee.  

What does it matter if the poor player can putt all the way from tee to green, provided that he has to zigzag so frequently that he takes six or seven putts to reach it?     --Alistair Mackenzie--

Design and construction and turf look amazing, but as a New Zealander I just can't get my head around the gorse. When was it introduced to coastal Oregon? Are there native regeneration programs in place to eradicate it or is it tolerated?

Mike, what kind of camera did you use to capture these images? That photo of the 5th with the clouds is unbelievable.
