It is Mucci's favorite and is where he leaves his anemometer during the off season.


Classic.

Maybe Apple will develop an app for his phone so he could calculate wind readings 24/7.

This is my favorite bad lie photo of the year, mainly because it happened to me.

From one of those "natural" collection areas at Pacific Dunes

Let's just say that the sand on the Rolling Oaks course at World Woods is a tad fine. Thankfully, I had playing partners who doubled as an excavation team.

Here's another beauty taken by fellow GCA'er David Elvins as I try to escape the sand on the Alps hole at Old Mac (w/Bryan Izatt in the background)

Another tough lie...  This time at Yarra Yarra.  I want to say the 6th, but the guys will have to help me out in confirming.

Add your own caption...

Mike can't contain his excitement here, but I assure you the word "fabulous" was NOT in the used vocabulary  ;D

Mike,
That picture should be in the running for photo of the year for a few of the details contained in it.
1. If you look closely, I have several logos on, including the logo bucket hat that was so widely panned on a different thread.
2. My trusty cart is just over my shoulder in the background.
3. You will notice that there are three different types of beers, a truer renaissance man you will not find!

Why?  You'd have had a drop and most likely played from the flat bottom.

OK--I get it!  No high-waisted pants, no pleats!  I won't make those mistakes again.

Perhaps this photo will fill the bill, taken from my Guess? Jeans modeling catalogue circa 2008.  (I'm not at liberty to dicuss this further, owing to my age discrimination lawsuit filed late last year when I turned 50 and they dropped me!)

Mac, et al--if you are looking for a nice Holiday Gift for your wife or girlfriend, a full-size poster of this shot makes a nice gift...might get their heart racing come Christmas time and there'll be no need for the mistletoe..





  Now I see why he wears his pants so high.

Did they run out of Bud Light - is that why you are stooping to the level of a Coors?

Must have been quite a trip.  Maybe a separate thread is in order to document your trip to Sand Hills?!

#17 from that tee looks quite intimidating.
