Hmmm.... tough.

I'd say based on how you explained the categories #3 and #1, however, the best photo all around is #5 in the second group however I think it's in the wrong category, while all the others are great and about family. 4 generations on the putting green and golfing together, wow, amazing experience!

No actual golf rounds were ruined or delayed, nor golf rules broken, in the taking of any photographs that may be displayed by the above forum user.

Thank you, Eric Smith and Brian Sheehy, for posting your pics.  Even though they did not make the finals, I thoroughly enjoyed your submissions.

David:

As Quinn noted in his write-up, those are his "aunts."  Just one of the many photos that presents a stronger message when you combine the image with the submitter's intro.

Mike:

Finalists are posted on page 7.

Merry Christmas,

Sven

I thought you were a better judge than that  ;)

Thank you to the Committee for choosing my photo of #9 at RCD as one of the finalists. I knew I struck luck when the sun shone for the first time in days. Fortunately, I was in the right place at the right time (except for the massive dune climb from the 11th tee). It's a view I'll never forget and happy to share!

Good luck to the other finalists. I think it's down to #3 and #4 in the golf course section.

#2 and #4 - mind you they're all great images. A stellar year.

The only way of really finding out a man's true character is to play golf with him. In no other walk of life does the cloven hoof so quickly display itself.
