The overcast skies actually helped out with this shot.   Royal Melbourne West, 5th greensite, January 29, 2013.

If I have to ask how to get a photo posted on these threads am I already disqualified? I must be a total fool with technology because for the life of me I can't figure it out.

These are some damn good photos already. Thanks for posting.

Here's a "how to post a photo" tutorial.

My daughter Rose ends her college career with the Illinois Wesleyan Titans with a hug from her coach, Kathy Niepagen, at the Division 3 Nationals in Destin, Florida, after stiffing a mid-iron to about 4 feet and rolling in the birdie putt.

I can be very forgetful, but won't be forgetting that sequence anytime soon.

There were tears in all of our eyes. A great moment, to end a great experience.

Do you have that same shot with a wider angle lens (and smaller aperture) so the Magic Windmill is also in focus?

Michael Weaver, USA, Sunday Foursomes, 4th green, NGLA, Walker Cup 2013

Great picture.  I had the chance to play with Michael a couple of weeks ago at my home club where his parents are members.  It was a lot of fun to watch him knock the ball around.

Since someone else started the son’s photos, this is my 6 year old last week here in Kansas before winter set in.  He is already able to hit a driver that is almost as long as he is tall, which probably means that he will be a much golfer than I will ever be.  

The significance of this photo and some of my Kansas GCA brethren can attest to, is that this 9 hole stretch was the last round that he and his brother got to ride in a cart.  We took advantage of a 2 for 1 sale on True Padwans and from here on out they are walking with their old dad and friends.....

I struggled to narrow it down to one but here it is:


12th hole at Ballyneal this October. Has to be one of my favorite pictures. It's hard to believe looking at it that it was 40° F and about 40 mph winds the day I played it.

Just for kicks here's the ones I was thinking of putting up, it was a great year for me and my photography skills got much better!:

Great photos Connor! Do you mind telling a newbie what courses those are? I have my guesses, but I am very curious!

Let me first apologize for multiple photos. This might go against protocol, but I had some images I wanted to share of the 2013 Walker Cup at National Golf Links of America. It was a very special event for everyone involved, including myself! I hope you all made it out to watch, but if you didn't, here are some images of the week.

First, my submission: Panoramic view of NGLA capturing the windmill, clubhouse, and the picturesque 17th with Great Peconic Bay in the background.


NGLA Clubhouse


The Walker Cup


Opening Ceremonies: Picture from Alex Miceli (It was so cool, I had to include it; Taken from clubhouse roof.)


A couple pics of Nathan & I studying! (Friday Practice Round)




Flags at Dusk (Notice U.S. Team celebrating on #18 green in top left of photo)


My favorite pic of the week: After all the kids went back to school, Justin Thomas had nowhere to go since he was turning professional. I saw him sneaking around the windmill and this gem popped up on Twitter a few hours later. He is one of very few to ever climb all the up the windmill!

Jeff,
Thanks! I probably should have put the courses up originally (after all, this isn't a "Name that course!" thread).

Bandon Trails' 17th hole.
Bally Bandon Sheep Ranch from Old Macdonald
Pacific Dunes' 11th
Bandon Trails' 1st
Fenway's 3rd
Aronimink's 18th

I think one of the common themes among my pictures (since I usually take them during rounds) is that they're either great at the beginning of the round or at the end of it. Not much of a surprise but I should start asking to take photos after rounds rather than doing it during.

I really liked the pictures from NGLA a lot. I was out there for the practice round and the place is even better than advertised. I hope to be back someday.

A couple of actual golf holes of a nice Surrey members course that comes in at a pretty good green fee for visitors.
