I was wondering about that finger of dry land behind the 15th green.  Now I know what it's there for!

It's very dangerous that Mike Young and Tommy Naccaratto have hooked up.  Twice in the past three days I have spit hot coffee all over my desk after reading posted notes from Tommy's visit to Georgia.

I didn't know Wayne was there.

Not only is the bucket hat back, but the Tam seems classic also.

Do ya think Mackenzie was showing us the proper line into 15? Was Mike doing the same? :D

JT,

In a sick kind of way, I was hoping my memory was wrong, just because I know you're warped enough to know the reference and correct me! ;D

Jim, I guess I need to get to Michigan and dispel these rumors.  ::)

Of course the first time I saw that Angels Crossing was in Vicksburg MI I started planning a trip to Mississippi!  :P

The last few days of the "Tommy Gone Wild" show has been orchestrated by Bob Crosby ....that was not a staged picture but a total invasion of privacy......

Mike,

What is the slope of that pond bank? Did you avoid your right shoe? Why didn't you use the nearby tree for some privacy? Did Tommy take any other comprimising photos of you, or anyone else during his visit?

Sincerely,

Joe

Well look, give the man some credit.  Obviously from the glassy surfaced pond, the man was intelligent enough to not aim into the wind.   Although I get the impression he would be so bold as to step on Superman's cape.  ::) ;D

Ooowiee bubba Tom, hep me, I gut it stuck agin in mah zipper.

I think it is always good when we see the human side of these admired architects...afterall who hasn't been there before, when you've got to go you've got to go...in this case Mike #1 and Mac #2.

Maybe Mac was the "sit down for #1-type?"

Is there any chance TE-P will want to argue whether he is dumping  or emptying, and this is how revisionists do it when they show up at really good golf courses?

Yes, I think so....

As Mike's lawyer, I want to make it clear that my client was photographed conducting a highly professional examination of the drainage behind the 15th green. Mike's first and only concern is to build a golf course that will stay dry under different conditions. As the photo indicates, Mike's pursuit of that noble objective is relentless.

I hope that this will scotch any further suggetions that Mike was merely "relieving" himself. I am also shocked that no one on GCA, of all places, has bothered to point out the wonderful 16th green complex just over Mike's right shoulder.
