Does anyone have any good/great photos of Ballyneal's amazing twelfth hole?  I am hopeful to make an oil painting of the hole that shows off its breadth, rumples and amazing beauty.  Would any of you have photos to share?  Thank you. 

Josh

So this thread isn't a total loss, here is one of the best photos I took out there opening day.  Hole 1

Just checked out your website and paintings.  Wow - you do a great job.
Some great work there.

That last photo is what the 12th is really all about - those ridges in the green that divide it into quadrants.   The tee shot is fun, trying to get on top of that brilliant diagonal ridge, but the shots and putts at the green are too much fun.

We've got a great photo of it from behind the green.  I think you can find it on our web site.

Josh,

Here is a low quality version from an interesting perspective.. Could be nice compositionally for your style.

Josh - good luck finding the right photo to inspire you. I don't have anything worthwhile of this hole. Id love to see a perspective that would allow you to not only capture the amazing contours in the green but also the exciting disparity between the elevation of the fairway on the left and the right side. Those two feature capture so much of the character of the hole for me and I'd love to see how you would go about capturing both in a single painting!

In case you couldn't stand the suspense anymore.... :-\  Here is what I came up with for a Ballyneal 12 painting.  I decided to leave
out the waterfall.  Thanks for all the help and suggestions on photos.

Josh,

Great work as always.  I went to your website and enjoyed the interview of you.  But it ended abruptly.  What did you decide with your day job?

Now we need to get you to Dismal, given you have covered Ballyneal and Sand Hills.

Best of luck,

Cliff Walston

He was just AT Dismal, playing in the Renaissance Cup.  But I don't think Chris has given him a commission yet.

Just a beautiful hole.

Tom,

I think I've figured out why you may hear people yell "get in the bunker" on your courses, and it has nothing to do with perfect bunkers impacting strategy, but rather the difficulty of a near miss.

Josh, that painting is way cool.  Looks like you used a photo from the very early days,  before the bunkers had "evolved" and also filled in with native growth.  I loved the look of those bunkers when they were first created and your painting really brings that out.  

If your art was not based on an early photo than  you have a better imagination than I even thought!

Meant to send you a note last night about your painting of Cabot Links.
I saw it behind the check in desk at Cabot yesterday.

Nice job as always.

Josh, could you post a photo of the Cabot Links painting?   Good memories of that place!

I always wondered why there wasn't a hidden strip of fairway, left of the left LZ bunkers. It would be worth the risk for that angle of approach.

Adam, while the continuous tees are not defined much by distance marker blocks, how far would a good (right to left) moving shot have to go to clear that left side bunker from about middle of teeing area?  I agree if it is in play for a strong drive to obtain that angle to the green, it would be good.  As I remember it, that area is sparse native, and generally if you did driver over the bunker left, you'd likely find your ball.  

But the aspect of the hole corridor visual from the tee that I find most interesting is how the snarly green fronting bunker seems to be merely and extension of the right bunkering coming off that slope when seen from the teeing distance, but in reality there is surprisingly more room between that eskar like hill and bunker coming from the right and the green front bunker.  That golf hole definitely has many aspects to ponder.
