My brother and 2 year old nephew. His position at the top is better than mine.

Image deleted, to keep from ruining a thread. Hopeful others will follow suit. My apologies to everyone.

Later:

Others are unwilling to help me remedy my error of
Judgment. Mea maxima culpa.

[John Mayhugh]

Oh, and POTY reminded me of this one:

That's probably the most juvenile thing I've ever seen a club do.  Wow.

[David Kelly]

Pathetic.

[John Kavanaugh]

Seems appropriate on the POTY thread. This is why I never take pics.

[Garland Bayley]

Oh, and POTY reminded me of this one:

That's probably the most juvenile thing I've ever seen a club do.  Wow.

Doubt I want to go there now, even with the 5th major.

[Criss Titschinger]

I don't have any from 2014 I'm super enamored with. So here goes nothing.

2014 Midwest Mashie. Day 1. Canterbury, hole 9. Minutes before the sleet came down.

There is nothing B side about Fishers.

Garland,

Given the lack of trees it's the only place we can go.

[Sam Morrow]

Pathetic.

I don't get it.

Has nothing to do with trees. Has to with how you treat your fellow man.

[John Kavanaugh]

Garland,

Sadly I can not take credit for the idea or the sign. I do accept responsibility for the fact that it has stood for years now because I am sure that if I or any member felt it was inappropriate it would be taken down. My guests always see it as more of a tribute than an insult.

I can't think of a course in the world where I wouldn't be thrilled to be remembered in the exact same way.

[Brandon Urban]

I'll add a few B Side pics. A couple golf related, a couple life related, and a couple of both.

#4 at Ballyneal at dusk. This was round 8 of my HHH and made me want to play until I could no longer see.


#15 at Dismal River Red. Early morning and I had the course to myself.


Ben Cox, the reason behind 100 Hole Hike, teeing it up on the 10th at Ballyneal with the help of his father. I have never been so honored to stand on a teebox. No dry eyes.


My daughter enjoying the morning view at Ballyneal.


And a few from my grandparent's central Kansas farm... because, well, it's home and we do sunsets pretty well around here.
