Aidan...

It would appear to me that you obviously photoshopped the flag.  Yours is checkered and Joe's is red!!! ;)

Rob, #16 at CECC is more a roller coaster than a rumple!  Or maybe it's a dozen rumples!  That is one great par 4.

With all due respect, can you please tell me what part of the image you think I "photoshopped".

You are not implying that you never touch up your photos are you?   :)

Splosh! One of the finest sights in the world: the other man's ball dropping in the water - preferably so that he can see it but cannot quite reach it and has therefore to leave it there, thus rendering himself so mad that he loses the next hole as well.

No such luck my friend.  You need to head south a few more hours for that treat.  If you do make it, drag that sorry ass Aussie (whats his name - Scott Stickem' Up Warren) with ya.  He has some issues he needs to resolve.

Aidan,

Brian

I always try to deliver the best possible product to the client but sometimes the circumstances within which we shoot is far from perfect. Have you or your clients ever hired a photographer before the course is ready in order to get some advance publicity? The photographer arrives and there are no flags. There is no sand in the bunkers or the fairways are only half sodded. The construction machinery behind the 18th or even something as simple as all the divots on the tee box.

Which image would you prefer? I am a firm believer in prevention rather than cure but that option is not always open to me. Of course I use photoshop. It has become an integral part of image creation but to get a good result you still have to start out with a good pallette. I realize your comment was somewhat "tongue in cheek" but I appreciate the opportunity to clarify this matter. Are you at the Forum in Amsterdam?

David, no problem, no worries.  Peter is an ectomorph, you're a mesomorph.  It could be worse, you could be an endomorph!

Point is, no matter how you diet, you ain't gonna be as slim as Peter!  Sorry about that.  Merry Christmas!

Mark

As for the potential problems that you would have to put at the door of the Links Trust as I no longer, live in St Andrews.

However, I can give you some information as to the past.  The Eden Estuary was know to threaten the course in the late 1870-80 coming very close to the green for the 7th &  11th - the High Holes. In fact, it was up against the side of the Green and gave Old Tom many problems. I believe on more than a few occasions there was fear that the Green maybe destroyed by the combination of sea and wind. Relief was expressed many times when it was inspected after a storm to see it was still there. The general comments seem to imply that the Green had the appearance of a long shallow modern day bunker covered in sand today the problem has with the sea receded. There is a water colour of this hole dating from circa 1880's called something like The Eden Estuary by T Hodge that shows how close the sea was to the pin. I only have a photo copy of the original painting.

There is a quote made by Old Tom regards this Green, “has gi’en me mair bother than a’ the rest o’ them put together”.

Melvyn

PS Old Tom stated that this Green and in particular these holes, were the first to use the precursor of the tin cup. His term was ‘sheet-iron case’ to keep the holes in shape.

Any of the pictures from John Mayhugh's English experience capture the essence of south east golf, especially the dog bowl shots!
