2014 PHOTOS OF THE YEAR THREAD - WINNER POSTED

[Peter Pallotta]

Outstanding, gents - thanks for sharing.

All things considered, my fav so far is Brandon's #10 at Dismal Red.

To paraphrase a line from Field of Dreams: Is this Heaven? No - It's Nebraska.

Can we please implement the Cohn Rule that every picture of a golf hole must note the course and hole number?!

Himalayan Golf Course - 5th hole. January 2014

[Jon Wiggett]

Yes, nice photo of Mr. Boon GJ

[Emil Weber]

Some great photos so far. My favourites are Barnbougle by Lukas and the goats at Lahinch.

I'll throw in my brother crackin one down the 3rd/12th at Durness in most northerly northern Scotland. Certainly among a handful of the most magic golfing days in my life... **edited* into the black/white version*

Had second thoughts on which photo you wanted to win the prize with?

Any of them will do...

2014 was a special year for me professionally.

Sunset at Crail... Halfway through a full round with only a 7-iron....

If that was half way round you must have been shifting to get the rest in before dark...

That's taken from the 14th tee.

Ian Andrew, Kevin Lynch and I know this view, Jeremy. That's a terrific photo.

That pic could be on a cover of a book on how not to present a course.

Excellent idea.  Here, I got you started.  Make sure I get my royalties.

Fantastic...send me an autographed copy.

My near ace on #13 at Kingsley (ask Howard Riefs and Michael Wharton-Palmer how impressive it was!);

Validated. Not a bad tee shot on a par 4.

[Matthew Lloyd]

i think maybe we've overlooked a gem -- since none of us took this photo it doesn't qualify of course:

wow that's an amazing tee shot on that hole.  especially where the pin placement was that day.  it's hard enough to hold a pitch shot near that location, let alone a drive.

Great picture!

Is that rough on the left or an out and back cut of fairway?  I cannot tell.

It's an out and back cut fairway.  Here's a clearer view of the fairway cut - it extends all the way out past the left bunkers.

[John Kavanaugh]

This reminds me of the famous Ballyneal photoblurb inferring it was an oceanside resort. Seeing is no longer believing.

Lahinch Goats at sunset

I was disappointed that the goats weren't out when I played Lahinch. Nice picture.
