Due to a particularly singular, persistent and peculiar line of inquiry into the impartiality of the Committee, I'd like to clear the air about a couple of things:
1. Up until last night, the Committee had one member. "We've" (that being the royal we) decided to open up the ranks to past champions, so this year Mike Benham will have an equal say in deciding the finalists for your vote.
2. This is really just for the fun of it. I've really enjoyed seeing the photos posted by everyone over the last couple of years, and hope the same holds true this year.
3. There is a prize, but it is really a token prize. Last year I sent Benham a list of golf books to choose from, and I had the one he selected shipped out west. This year's prize has yet to be determined, and the half of the Committee responsible for starting this thread will be making all related decisions and purchases. Rest assured, unlike the empty rewards promised in such historic contest threads like "Get Your Name Off the First Page," there will be a prize.
4. Any comments from the Committee are meant to be taken with a grain of salt, slightly tongue in cheek, but understanding they were made with the utmost sincerity, where appropriate. We're not talking North Korean judges at the Olympics here.
5. This Contest is not to be construed as an official GolfClubAtlas.com activity, is not sponsored by GolfClubAtlas.com and the owners and operators of said website are in no way responsible for any activities related hereto.
For those of you who got all this before now, I apologize for the interruption. For the rest of you, now you know.
Also, here's a thread discussing how to post photos:
