Jeff - those are incredible.  Are they both of #2?  I know the second one is...

The first one looks like #16

My favorite picture of 2011 exemplifies the commitment and dedication of golfers. It is entitled simply "The Hand."



Mmmm, I am confused; the golfer is clearly a lefty, yet he raises his glass with his right hand?

I think we have a winner (except that he disqualified himself by posting two).

Yes, 16. Both pics taken from the big dune behind 16. We'd played 36 the day before and had 36 scheduled the next day with OM included, so two of us sat out the afternoon 18. Towards the end of the day we went out to find our others guys and found some great light on the way.

Ed,

very nice.  I love how you just get a sneak peek at downtown above the trees.

Oh and the golf course looks nice too!  :)

I get it, you are mad at the world because you are an adult caddie and few people take you seriously.

Excellent spellers usually lack any vision or common sense.

I know plenty of courses that are in the red, and they are killing it.

Brian,

Was this looking left on 15 tee?  I used your camera on this tee and this may be one that I snapped.  ;)

Played a lot of places this year, special thanks to Chris Johnston and others but this is my favorite photo and why I belong to the private course I do back home.  Sorry for the fuzzy, Blackberry snapshot.

December 4th, Olathe, KS, my 6 year old son walked most of his first 18 holes in 37 degrees, 12 hours before I had to catch a flight to leave him for most of the week.  Granted, he didn’t hit a lot of shots after 6 holes, but I loved every minute of it.

Happy Holidays Everyone.

Nah, just an old school outside/in swing path to hit a low heel cut, shaping it for the line of charm off the tee.  Even though "the kid" is going modern with the untucked shirt and cargo pants, his knowledge of GCA is superior to any other kid in his neighborhood.
