Dear Mr. Tepper,
Thank you very much for you keen eye. However, I was indeed playing the 17th hole. Clearly, we have never played golf together. Otherwise you would not be surprised to learn that I hooked my tee shot so badly on 17 I actually ended up in the middle of the 16th fairway. Thank you very much for bringing that to my attention.
<all joking in good fun, of course>
The person taking the picture is standing the 17th fairway while I am on the 16th.
Again <sigh> I want to go back.
