What's your desktop background?

Just a random question. Look at your computer screen. Do you have a golf picture as your background? If so, what hole?

Mine was #14 at The Rim in Arizona. I just changed it to #11 at Sand Hills.

The 15th at Friar's Head which I took one beautiful night. You can't see the hole all that good, but the sunset was unbelievable. (For my eye at least)

Aidan Bradley’s (please let me have spelllllled it correctly(thanks andy ;)))  17th at County Sligo.  Lovely photo of a great, great, hole in an all world location.  I had Ran's version on previously and it has inspired more than one daydream.  

About a year ago I attended the funeral of a lady who had married into our family. She was one of the most beautiful people I am ever likely to meet.  Imagine the emotions when the priest announced she wanted her ashes spread on the beach at Roses Point.

All architects will be a lot more comfortable when the powers that be in golf finally solve the ball problem. If the distance to be gotten with the ball continues to increase, it will be necessary to go to 7,500 and even 8000 yard courses.

Mine is also one of Tommy's recent North Berwick shots - the Pit #13, from the far left angle where you can see the beach, the big dune left, and the wall.  Great hole, great photo.

A pick of me knocking a hybrid onto the green at Pac Dunes #4.  

The photographer called the photo "Three Sticks" which I suspect you will understand when you see it.

At work: the 2nd green at Royal Dornoch.
At home: this view after walking off the second green
             and over the hill where you see the course
             layed out by the sea and you can't help but
             to fall in love

At home, Neil Regan's shot of 17 and 18 at Sand Hills.  It's been 'stuck' there for a couple of years now.  Can't seem to change it.

I'm not sure who took this photo but I also have a picture of 17 and 18 at Sand hills. It's the one found on Ran's review.
