Mac,

Are you sure you would not like to replace your previous entry with the photograph you took today of my wonderful tee shot at #8.

Wade, It'll have to go on the B-side thread.  What a classic!!

I didn't play all that much golf this past year, but after a quick look through my library I thought this one stood out a bit.  I like the turtle.

And there can be no greater praise for a work of art than that it includes no whizzing!!

I have no photos of any merit that I would submit this year.  But, I think it is without question, between Saltzman and Henderson in particular, and many other contributors offerings, 2011 has been the best photo essay of great golf courses year in the dozen or so years we've had GCA.com.

Gentlemen,
One cannot fail at Crail.
Note particularly The Boathouse, a sense of place indeed if one uses it to carom a shot onto the green. N'est ce pas Mac Plumart?

I am quite enamoured with the concept of land being used for multiple purposes and Minch Old is one of few of this sort of course.  This is not a great photo, but it depicts what is wonderful about true common land golf.  The golf works into the landscape rather than taking it over.  I can imagine locals not wanting to take short cuts through the common because of delays caused by cows, much like those in more urban areas avoid routes over railroad tracks.  BTW - in my never-ending battle with Ran (which I am most certainly losing), I choose to post proper sized pix - that means scrolling is in order. 


Ciao

Musgrove Mill, the deer has just knocked the ball off the tee. Followed us around for a good 10 minutes.

Frost at Kinloch:



I am not sure whether the hedge adds to or subtracts from the quality of the photograph but for me it emphasizes the fact that I would not be playing there that day.

Thanks Joe.

All the credit goes to fellow GCAer David Elvins for taking this photo for me during this year's King's Putter.

Sean: On your photo of multi-purpose us of common ground, is it fair to "lift, clean & place" or play "rounders" if a cow pie lies between your ball and the hole or is it a "stymie"?

I don't know how to pull the picture from Colton's blog, but the 4th picture from the "Ben Cox 108" would do it for me.

I guess I'll put my picture into the fray.

This is my favorite picture of mine 2011 and also my favorite course of the year...the setting really makes me seem a lot better at taking pictures.

Where: Eastward Ho looking back at the 18th hole from clubhouse porch.



I have to agree with Frank's picture.  Thats great stuff.

This picture of Angel Cabrera playing Cypress point is pretty nice!

(Edit: I was just informed that this is not Angel Cabrera, it is our own Gene Greco! Who knew)
I do notice the similarities.  Sorry Gene....
