Brian,

I'm not so sure I'd agree with your caption from a first glance.

Could just as easily read "can we go home now?"  Lol! 

You guys don't look like happy campers in that pic. 

Nice stretch though.  Kind of reminds me of my own solo in '05 from SF to Miami in the middle of Katrina.  Even better when you share it with a bud like Dave.

Us in 2005 at Bandon Dunes (9th day of our 16 day trip cross country trip from Michigan to Oregon and back..we still look pretty fresh):

[Patrick Kiser]

In that case ... Olympic Marseille.  No question.

But they're sucking big time this year in the Champions League and we hardly get to see them.

Wow Patrick, that's a lot of teams in what the rest of the world calls football.  Why not pick just one?

For me it's Arsenal and then there's the rest of the world.

But you do choose some fine ones to add to your cadre outside of the EPL, anyway - each featuring former Arsenal greats.

In any case, I can certainly respect your choice of US teams as you are a San Diego guy, right?  And we have one in common - Lakers.

Patrick:

Good man.
And here in the US, well... one can see damn near all EPL games, so it surely is easier rooting for an EPL team.  I feel your pain.  But Le Ligue is on every so often on Setanta... if you don't have that yet, you must get it.

On my way to making birdie on the pre-watered down 11th.

[Tom Huckaby]

That was a glorious birdie, John.

But you need to see this green now.  If anything it was watered down as you played it there.

Not an a$$ shot but a massive hip and shoulder turn by our resident rocket scientist ....

Anyone want to guess where this is?

[TX Golf]

Tom,

we will have to grab a Fat Tire at some point.

Also... go Real Madrid!!!!   I got to see them kick the shit out of Barcelona in May!!!

Can anyone besides Huck identify my partner in this pic.  A clue:  He has yet to make a par that day.




Rich Goodale is my partner in this pic from 2002.

[Tom Huckaby]

Robert - we will indeed.

And I am loving this football interest!  There are a lot of fans in this crazy forum... most supporting EPL teams, but one must love the support for all of these.  I have nothing but respect for Real Madrid as well - how can one not?

Mike - St. Andrews New?  Royal Troon?  And yes that rocket scientist does have some kinda coil - or at least did back then when he tried to take it deep and blasted it by you.  This new controlled rocket scientist, sigh....

 

JK - dammit, I am dying!  But hell I didn't make many pars myself that day so I shall not give shit just as I shall not ID that great man.

Tom,

Do not get me started on Setanta Sport and the lack thereof with Comcast here in SF.  Depressing...

I'm down to highlights on the French TV5.

Robert,

Just when I was starting to think you were an ok guy...   Geez...

Also... go Real Madrid!!!!   I got to see them kick the shit out of Barcelona in May!!!

[Patrick Kiser]

Wait...  That's Kaylen on the 18th in that restored bottomless pit of a bunker...

No...  Kaylen wore a hat that day and wasn't paired with John as I recall.

Lol!

Sorry Kaylen.  Couldn't help myself.  I can still picture the look on your face at the clubhouse after finishing.  Priceless...

That was a glorious birdie, John.

[Brian Cenci]

Brian,

Is that you and your roomie?  Which is you.

On another note:  Did you ask Crenshaw permission to take the pic of the back of his head.  If not I think we no who is the top.

That is us....I'm the shorter of the two of us.

[Kalen Braley]

Patrick,

I must admit, that bunker on 18 got the best of me and I lost my cool a bit...

But it didn't take away from the awesome experience of playing Pasa...I just didn't feel like walking back across the barranca to take a drop for what turned out to be several un-extractable lies for me.   But alas, it was hands down the most brutal bunker I've ever been in. 

[Brad Swanson]

Brad Swanson,

I'm wounded that there is no picture of us at Lawsonia Links.

Bogey

Mike,
   If I had a photo of us from that great day, I'd have posted it front and center.  Just another good reason for us to have a rematch up at Lawsonia sometime soon.

Finally getting to see the faces behind the rants... one request can we do the all-stars from the Merion threads??

Here's the CommonGround interns from Rupert's Party at Ballyneal this summer. (Big Z) Peter Zarlengo on the far left, Mike Bowline in the yellow, myself with the Bud, Jacob Erisman to the right of me. Good times.

Patrick,

I lived in Madrid for six month last year so that is where my loyalties are.... No doubt was it the greatest sporting event I have ever been to... (although I might have to hold judgement until the second week of April 2009)

[Mike Benham]

[Marty Bonnar]

Now THAT is just plain mean!! (Funny, but MEAN!)

He even had the nerve to take a CHOICE of Club!!!! Now, that's what I call cool.

FBD.

PS Is that on the Cart Path next to the Par 3???

LOL!   Hell I have no delusions.  As I recall the result of this shot was pretty good... but getting there in the first place, well... I suck.

 

I think it's the uphill par 5.... #6... but I could be wrong.

As for choice of clubs, one does never know the required implement until assessing the situation.  But most likely that is the putter lying on the road... can't tell for sure.

[Steve Pieracci]

I love this pic


OMG!!!


Diehards


A fitting end

[Marty Bonnar]

Nice pics, Steve.

Although seeing them, it somewhat sadly occurs to me that it is the eternal burden of we poor unfortunate chaps of enhanced girth that we be put firmly in the shade by 'The Handsome One'.



Curse his damnable Silver Foxiness....

FBD.

[Mike Benham]

Ok, here you go, in all your glory ...
