Outstanding, gents - thanks for sharing.

All things considered, my fav so far is Brandon's #10 at Dismal Red.

To paraphrase a line from Field of Dreams: Is this Heaven? No - It's Nebraska.

Can we please implement the Cohn Rule that every picture of a golf hole must note the course and hole number?!   ;D

Some great photos so far. My favourites are Barnbougle by Lukas and the goats at Lahinch.

I'll throw in my brother crackin one down the 3rd/12th at Durness in most northerly northern Scotland. Certainly among a handful of the most magic golfing days in my life... **edited* into the black/white version*

Had second thoughts on which photo you wanted to win the prize with?

Any of them will do...

Sunset at Crail... Halfway through a full round with only a 7-iron....



If that was half way round you must have been shifting to get the rest in before dark...
That's taken from the 14th tee.
In June I will be riding the first three stages of this year's Tour de France route for charity.  630km (394 miles) in three days, with 7800m (25,600 feet) of climbing for the William Wates Memorial Trust (https://rideleloop.org/the-charity/) which supports underprivileged young people.

My near ace on #13 at Kingsley (ask Howard Riefs and Michael Wharton-Palmer how impressive it was!);



Validated. Not a bad tee shot on a par 4.

i think maybe we've overlooked a gem -- since none of us took this photo it doesn't qualify of course:

wow that's an amazing tee shot on that hole.  especially where the pin placement was that day.  it's hard enough to hold a pitch shot near that location, let alone a drive.

Is that rough on the left or an out and back cut of fairway?  I cannot tell.

It's an out and back cut fairway.  Here's a clearer view of the fairway cut - it extends all the way out past the left bunkers.

This reminds me of the famous Ballyneal photoblurb inferring it was an oceanside resort. Seeing is no longer believing.

Lahinch Goats at sunset



I was disappointed that the goats weren't out when I played Lahinch. Nice picture.
