I am impressed with all of these photos especially Don Mahaffey's.

He continues to remind me just how important the people are.  I spent some time with Bill Coore recently and he remarked on the same thing. 

All of the glorious golf photo's that will grace this web site were built and maintained and cared for by people you will never meet.

Thanks Don

Looking forward to more pictures. It is amazing the sport we all get to enjoy in some unbelievable locations.

If anyone can tell me how to unbiggunate this I'd appreciate it.

Simply insert "width=xxx" into the link after the opening [ img ... it should be (img width=600)

Depending on your monitor, browser and graphics settings, 800 should be the maximum width (actually 799) so that, you don't get the slide bar.  And it should look like this with width=600

"The Testicles"

How about "Dawson's Testicles"

I'm generally partial to those with at least one golfer in them, but Guy's Cabot picture is pretty striking.

If you photoshop in a black and white Benham it wins for sure.

One of the reasons I'm excited about my trip to Cabot Links in early August!

If anyone's interested, please shoot me an IM.  Hoping to have a couple of foursomes, and will include an overnight to Highland Links.

This is the view that greets me literally each morning as I drive through the gates.  Tough one to photograph though with the light which is normally straight into the lens at that time of day but on this occasion a few weeks ago, a combination of direction of sunrise, colour of the sky and my simple iphone gave me one of my favourite pics for the year.

My first post here on this website. 

Here's a photo of my home course, The Metropolitan Golf Club on the Melbourne Sandbelt. This is the 12th green, with the 13th green visible behind.

Lukas,

Nice pic.  I like the click through to a bigger version.  Neat for a first post.

Gotta see if I can make that work.



Hmmm, that's neat.

Here is one of my favorite photos that I took this year, No. 2 at Ballyhack, October.
