I'm pretty confident this is the non-golf course winner:

"Jason Jones braces for a hit during the Fourth Annual Young Lawyers and Young Professionals of Naples Dodgeball Tournament on Saturday at Fleischmann Park in Naples. Twenty-five teams participated in the event."



I guess its true that real men do wear pink. ;D

These can't be my official entries, as I didn't take the photos...but I think they are pretty special.

Picture of the Year

Interesting potential for a Thread, so what springs to mind, well I think there are two photos that attract attention, perhaps three.

The first one many may remember was just posted a few months ago. I think it says a great deal more about the game we play to day. In the old days this would have been consider very unsportsmanlike and certainly frowned upon by the golfing community, yet today it is acceptable and indeed welcome after all what else are we expected to do – Wonder what the designer had intended, could it possibly be a hazard which perhaps the club considered is a hazard too far or  has our generation just run out of ideas and anything goes for an easy life.

Feel free to submit your own caption  - mine is ‘Is this Tennis or are we playing Golf’





The second photo was posted a few days ago being an aerial shot of TOC 1st &18th Holes.  Its shows that
you really do not know or for that matter understand a course (no matter how often you may have
played it in your life time). How many people have been surprised by this photo with the deep lumps
and bumps on the 18th fairway against the relative smoothness of the 1st. At ground level the course
does not look so smooth or lumpy. Just think of the fun that is being missed by failure to roll back the
ball and to push more for the ground game. It also explains clearly why when the weather shows her
face at TOC, the game becomes more of a challenge with the course no longer an innocent bystander.

Again feel free to submit your caption – mine being ‘My Fair-weather Friend’




This photo from Elie reminds me of the great days of the past and my caption for this photo is ‘Leave no Stone Unturned’ in getting back to basics and what s great course to do it on as well.




The thinking mans photos of the year or serious GCA???

First off, Mike...who's Max?

However, I'll assume you were refering to the two pictures I posted prior to Melvyn's which were clearly labeled as follows...

"These can't be my official entries"...so I was just sharing photos I liked that others had taken, in hopes of inspiring them to enter them in the contest.  You'll note that my entry is posted earlier in the thread.

What's your favorite photo for 2010 Mike?

This is the picture I took during my last week at Tumble Creek this year in September.  The fescue was browing out and the contrast was just amazing.  This is from the new alternate tee we built on hole #4 at 225 yards.  It was mainly built to be an easier hole for the ladies, but some of the members love to play it as an extra par 3.  Just a inspiring view from here.  Plus it sort of plays like a redan, you want to hit a low running draw that lands about 10 yards short and bounds onto the green.

That's a hell of a picture, Kyle.

Thanks, mate.

That shot is of Clear Creek Tahoe's 17th hole and was taken with a little Sony point and shoot during a casual round with the venerable Sir Herreid.


Kyle,

Definitely agree with Scott.  Fine pic.

Was the vantage point there an actual tee?  I don't recal a back tee from that kind of angle.  Just curious.

Certainly one of my favorite holes this year.  Great pic.

No brainer for me.  It's been a special year, but this pic is well situated in the memory bank.

This one goes out to Jim C., Matt S., and the fine folks at Ballyneal...

I haven't been playing the best courses this year.
