2011 Pictures of the Year Contest - Finalists Now Up

[Jim Colton]

Jeff - those are incredible.  Are they both of #2?  I know the second one is...

The first one looks like #16

My favorite picture of 2011 exemplifies the commitment and dedication of golfers. It is entitled simply "The Hand."

Mmmm, I am confused; the golfer is clearly a lefty, yet he raises his glass with his right hand?

[Sven Nilsen]

Not one nomination for an Operation Burger Dog picture.  Shame on all of you.

I think we have a winner (except that he disqualified himself by posting two).

My entry: One of the best places to be.  I didn't want to leave!

#18 Tee at Seminole Golf Club

[George Freeman]

My vote is for Jeff's picture of #2 at Pac Dunes.  Spectacular!  Look at all those undulations!

Left hand is too sunburnt.

Yes, 16. Both pics taken from the big dune behind 16. We'd played 36 the day before and had 36 scheduled the next day with OM included, so two of us sat out the afternoon 18. Towards the end of the day we went out to find our others guys and found some great light on the way.

I started playing around with some black and whites this year.  Here is my favorite...

Ed,

very nice.  I love how you just get a sneak peek at downtown above the trees.

Oh and the golf course looks nice too! 

[Ed Oden]

Thanks Mark.  Better to focus on uptown than the neighborhood in between.

[JC Jones]

Thanks Mark.  Better to focus on uptown than the neighborhood in between.

But then you'd overlook the Paper Doll....

The possibilities are endless Roger.
A connecting bridge, a cart path, on course deliveries right off #7. A new dimension to the term "halfway house."
If they ever have a tournament there, let me know.

[Mike Hendren]

Winner winner chicken dinner.  America's Best:



Thanks for posting.  New screen-saver.

Bogey

[James Boon]

Bogey,

I knew someone else would appreciate that one! 

Thanks for posting it Brian!!!

Cheers,

James

[jonathan_becker]

African plains vista at Shinny - wow.

This one gets my vote. 

Brian,

Was this looking left on 15 tee?  I used your camera on this tee and this may be one that I snapped. 

[jonathan_becker]

Eat shit Becker that was left of 13!

Haha!  That's what I meant....#13

[Richard Chamberlain]

Here's one I took a couple of days ago.
Shiny new project, mown clearing lines and bailed up before poisoning. It was so cool out there with the hay bales lying around.

[Jason Hines]

Played a lot of places this year, special thanks to Chris Johnston and others but this is my favorite photo and why I belong to the private course I do back home.  Sorry for the fuzzy, Blackberry snapshot.

December 4th, Olathe, KS, my 6 year old son walked most of his first 18 holes in 37 degrees, 12 hours before I had to catch a flight to leave him for most of the week.  Granted, he didn’t hit a lot of shots after 6 holes, but I loved every minute of it.

Happy Holidays Everyone.

[Matt Day]

not a winner but my favourite

Meh...looks like he heeled it.

[Mike Benham]

Meh...looks like he heeled it.

Nah, just an old school outside/in swing path to hit a low heel cut, shaping it for the line of charm off the tee.  Even though "the kid" is going modern with the untucked shirt and cargo pants, his knowledge of GCA is superior to any other kid in his neighborhood.
