A Pictorial: Cypress Point Club!!! (!!!)

[Kyle Henderson]

Thanks to the generosity of a very special man, I was privileged to enjoy a day at the Sistine Chapel of golf with some of my favorite GCA brethren.

pick out the double-logoed DUFUS in that group.

He knows his crimes.

Perhaps I don't have the sharpest eye, but I don't see any violations.

Nice beard.

Jon.

[Scott Warren]

Check out Jim subtly squeezing your traps in the final pic

Great pics.

[Tom Huckaby]

You know the man.  We can assume that's not a plain polo shirt he's wearing - that's some logo from somewhere.  We can also assume his bag holds the usual 3-4 headcovers from exclusive clubs.

GUILTY of DUFOSITY.

[Ron Csigo]

Nice pics Kyle!

[Anthony Gray]

   Love these threads.

[Carl Nichols]

Thanks for these great pics, including a few from angles I hadn't previously seen.  Seeing guys in sweaters is particularly cool on a 95+ degree humid day here in Washington.  . . .

Actually, good point.

Check the golf glove too.

[Kyle Henderson]

I recall 4 different logos amongst the Spaulding livery, the glove being from CPC itself (never wear a Metallica shirt to a Metallica concert).

Mr. Gray,
Sadly, as my camera no longer works, this may be my last photo thread for awhile.

I can't tell  with my crappy computer screen but don't you have a CPC hat on?

[Morgan Clawson]

I'm always amazed at the photos of this shrine!

And they're being taken with point and shoots on the fly.  It's not like you were sitting there for 2 hours waiting for the perfect shot with a slr.

Kyle - what were your favorite 3 holes?

Logo on shirt sleeve = SANTA TERESA

I know the club champion there, he wears a beard.

[Tom Huckaby]

You know George Fowler?

Man he must have gone for a far different look....

 

[Jon Spaulding]

No, this guy is far whinier than Fowler, yet still a champion of the logo wars in my book.

[Tom Huckaby]

If you mean the 2004 and 2006 champion, well that guy's face is as smooth as a baby's bottom.

He can stoop to whining, though.

Confirmed.

Kyle - what were your favorite 3 holes?

From an architectural standpoint, I choose the:

5th - Challenge the bunker inside the dogleg for a chance to reach in two. If laying up, must do see with careful consideration due to uneven terrain and unkering. Elevated green with a fantastic combination of bold and subtle breaks.

12th - Bail out left and leave a long difficult approach or cut one near the sandy scrub for a better angle from a closer position.

16th - Lay up left? Go for the green? Hard 5- wood? Bunt Driver? Winds, match status and the day's swing flaws
make each play a different proposition.

[Tom Huckaby]

Take off the beard.

What are your three favorite holes?

[Jordan Wall]

What a dog track.

Spaulding's wearing a visor...check...VISOR.

[Marty Bonnar]

What a dog track.

Spaulding's wearing a visor...check...VISOR.

and we need Judge Smailes to say:
"Spaulding, take your hands out of your pockets!!!"
 

[Scott Szabo]

Kyle,

Thanks for taking the time to post these pics.  Many will never have the fortune of setting foot on CP and its nice to be able to view it in this manner.

[Steve Salmen]

Kyle,

As usual, your photographs are really wonderful.  I hope you don't mind but I've saved them and may possibly have them printed  into a color, hardbound photo book.  My pics did not turn out so sharp.

It sounds like you had a really awesome day and I'm glad for you.  I hope everyone who loves golf gets the chance to play a golf course this spectacular

[Michael Taylor]

Do you have a photo of the tee shot on 9?

What was your favorite par 3, other than 16? 7 looks really neat to me.
