This was my last hole played at Kingsley in 2012.  I made the birdie putt.

It is tough to capture the dramatic setting and the interesting shaping at Kawana, particularly when it is cloudy.  This picture appears to be my best effort.  It is taken from the top of the hotel the evening before I played.

This isn't my best "golf picture" of the year -- but it's my favorite.

That's my girl, Rose Kelly, conference champ, getting a hug from her coach.

[Screw it. Can't figure out how to post this one.]

One last try:



Yes? Yes!

AAAARGHHHH! The image is cropped and presented in lower resolution. Please tell me that the judges will be looking at the photos in the proper aspect ratio and with intended color correction.

If not, please replace it with the par-3 photo (fence limbs in the foreground) as that aspect ratio and composition is as intended.

Sorry, I am a cinema D.P. in my other life.

I was lucky enough to step foot on some great golf courses this year, but this picture makes me smile more than any of them. An early summer evening at the home course with the boy, walking and talking about anything and everything. My dad didn't play so I never experienced father/son golf as a kid, but as an adult I know now that it is one of life's greatest things.

This picture is from this morning.

Carmen mowing the 15th green at Wolf Point.
She has been part of the golf crew from the beginning, doing finish work during construction, dragging hose and walk mowing during grow in, and she mows the greens at Wolf Point. Her husband, Daniel, is a cowboy at the ranch and they are both great people. It is hard to look at the landscape we've built and maintain without thinking of the people involved.

Gib:

Not sure what I can do on the resolution.  I uploaded what you sent to photobucket, and that's what it spit out.

I'll put the other photo up and let you decide which one you want to use, or you can get one of the photo pro's around here to get the full resolution image up with no cropping.

Is he the guy that submitted that exceptionally artistic, skillfully composed and superbly captured image of the foggy walk at Cypress?

At which point, I'd bet you good money, Johnny Miller said he needs to choke up some more on chips from the rough, because there's no power in the upper grooves of the club.

Right?

He did.  I was most impressed by his ability to set up the timer for the self-portrait.

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:
