Never leave your camera unattended at a GCA-related event.

Edit: Perhaps this image should be considered for a members only logo? ;D

Yarra Yarra?

Well spotted. That's the renovated 4th hole in the background.

Pacific Dunes #18  9/11/11

left fairway Bunker?

I was there once..pitched backwards to fairway, 4 iron , 4iron to 5 feet...and blew it for par >:(

Yes, left Fairway Bunker.  I was the only one in my group not to be there and ended up winninh the hole and five skins. This poor fellow ended up in the face of the green front bunker two shots later (see below) and miraculously blasted out to  within a couple inches of the hole.

The 18th at Pacific is a douche of a little hole.  It's like watching amateur hockey from behind the plastic safety barrier.

No. It isn't.

I don't care what anyone else says, I personally would prefer finishing on the ocean.

I understand that appeal, but I'd hate to see an oceanside clubhouse take the place of another oceanside hole.

I can not bring myself to cut and paste the photograph (particularly from  my work station), but I must say that I'm disappointed in Ran's allowing Anthony Weiner to join the site.  Heretofore, the demise of GCA.com has been greatly exaggerated.

As I recall, Mayhugh hit this wedge at good 10 yards at Lost Farm :)



But not even a falling trolley at New South Wales could interrupt this PERFECT follow through!

Before my swing tip, O'Halloran would some how hit the green.

After my swing tip, he gave me a new nickname ...




Keith,

I am still trying to figure out where you are going on this....? :) Where is the hole?

The hole is the green line. It is over the left cart. If you can believe it, I missed the green left! That was the swing that pushed Benham ver the top and forced him to fix it!

I think you can blame our round at East Lake for this.  Prior to seeing my swing for 18 holes KO was smoking baby draws off of each and every tee box.
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.

    Sean:

          Furthermore, the shot Frip is playing is from the old tee on the 17th at Sand Hills.

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