Carlyle,

I wish more posts were like this one - Great stuff!

You have done well to go from one end to the other and visit these courses in one hit...  Dont you think the 12th hole at RB is just a stunning par 3?  In fact A great selection of par 3's... all around.

Congrats on your graduation!

Thanks for the photos Carlyle.  That must have been one helluva trip.  Best of luck.

You brought back very fond memories of my Aug. 2003 trip.  At the 11th Hole- Eden at TOC, the wind was blowing 30-40 mph from left to right.  We aimed our tee shots out toward the 12th tee.

Also great photo of #2 at North Berwick West.  One of my favorite holes on our trip.  Below...two of my buddies who bit off a little too much of the right side on their tee shots:

Carlyle, good eye for capturing the photos, and congrats on graduating.  It is always a pleasure to see these happy times through the eyes of others we know and use them for dream fertilizer to plant seeds of our own ambitions.  ;) ;D 8)

Carlyle,

What type of digital camera did you use?  I'm looking for a new one and those pictures are great.

Great Photos Carlyle!

You have just managed to make me feel homesick and jealous as hell.

That is a pretty fine selection of golf courses to play whilst in Britain, I am looking forward to seeing more of your photos from your Grand Tour.

Cheers

Looks like a great trip...and CONGRATS on the recent graduation.

The pics bring back some fond memories of the summer of 1998...

Carlyle,
    Congrats on completing the schooling, and good luck finding a place to put it in the dirt. I look forward to seeing more pix from your trip. I am also searching for a digital camera. What were the drawbacks of the camera you listed? The resolution looks fantastic, how was the memory and battery situation?
   Those are some fantastic photos. You are quite talented with the camera.
