Post by: Tom Huckaby on October 29, 2008, 12:25:18 PM: These are REALLY cool. I have none to add. And I know the first one - man anyone here who doesn't ought to get two lashes with a very wet noodle - but Robert, the second one.... is that Cal Club? #10 approach? Man I was just there less than two weeks ago and I am uncertain.... likely because when I played it it was 85 degrees and crystal clear!

I think the gates and the removal of access through them, have caused as much anguish to the locals as did Captain Boycott's actions in County Mayo back in the 1880's.

Wake up , look out at a fine day , only one thought , Golf .

Step out my door , and then discover the north side of the town , including the golf course is pea soup !

Yes it is.... but I think Josh has me beat with his photo!!! I don't know if I have ever seen a course look scarier than that :-[ The photo I posted was actually one of the photos that Jeff Stettner took in a previous thread.
Title: Re: The Photo's You Get on Rainy/Foggy Days
Post by: Tom Huckaby on October 29, 2008, 02:31:27 PM: Robert - thanks!

And these pics are perfect for Halloween.

Of course Josh's pic doesn't scare me... I birdied that hole (my one claim to fame that day).

;D

Title: Re: The Photo's You Get on Rainy/Foggy Days
Post by: TX Golf on October 29, 2008, 02:34:19 PM: Nice playing.... but even on a sunny and warm day that hole scares me from the tips (around 490 in think)!!! But hey, at least in normally plays downwind, unlike 13 which might be one of the more difficult holes I have ever played if it is windy.

Oh... and oddly enough I had to steal a picture of a foggy day from someone else. After searching through all my photos I was amazed that the backdrop on all of them was bright blue. Odd considering some of the weather you get in SF.

Boy you guys don't miss much... That was about as close as I could get to what would have been the tee for the departed par 4 3rd. Any further to the right ... and was down into that collapsed ravine.

Just like Huckaby, craving for attention ... just tell the neighbor down the street that you were extra good
today and deserve an extra piece of candy when you go tricker or treating tonight ...

So in my last set of photos, what interstate am I on when I snapped that photo? Northbound or Southbound? (oops!!)

Tom has been a great mentor now hasn't he. ;D

Highway looks like 101 in the Ukiah area.
If not then Hwy 5 near Mt. Shasta ;D

Evidently, your knowledge of the Interstate system is somewhat lacking ... east–west highways are assigned even
numbers, and north–south highways are assigned odd numbers ...

So I80 is wrong ;)

From the Clubhouse at The National, Cape Schanck, Victoria.

As with so many of these pictures, best appreciated by those very familiar with what SHOULD
be in the background, such as a National Park, Bass Strait, and Apollo Bay in the distance.

I'll try and get a shot on a sunny day from the same spot soon, and post it for comparison.

Did I put down I80 North?

Yikes... I turn 40 and the senior moments are out of control.

It's all your fault Mike. I was convinced you were on the I80E or W and your North / South hint threw me ;D

So was it Mt. Shasta or Ukiah?
