From the PGA Championship

I attended the PGA Championship at Whistling Straits on Wed. and Thurs. Cameras were only allowed at Wed.'s practive round. This shot gives you an idea of the links course design.

Here's a photo from the Lake Michigan side.

The long grass is called Fescue. The player in the picture is Bruce Smith, a crub pro who played his way into an invitation through numerous qualifying tournaments.

Just trying something different.

Jose was one-upping the Tiger Woods thing where he bounces the ball on his club like a paddle-ball, by balancing a club on a ball on another club abd walking around. By the time I got my camera out I missed it.

I don't know who the player is, but I like te way the Marshall seems to be controlling the ball's flight...

Great images Lava. As a golfing fan all my life I've been following along a little closer this week since the course is closer to me here in Minnesota. Someday when a major comes back to Hazeltine I think I'll have to buy some practise rounds tickets and take my dad along.

Thanks for sharing these they brightened my Friday.

just coming off a golf trip in Williamsburg, VA - these make me wish I was still there! I love the 2nd and the "flag" picture. I usually think of course as such quiet places, but all those people with the colorful clothes against the greens really give you an idea of how exciting a PGA event is (at least for golf fans!)

I especially like the landscape few of the people dotting the course.
I went to the Greater Hartford Open when I was younger [and Sammy Davis Jr. still alive] and it was a really neat experience.

these are really neat! I like the first one best, I think. My brother works up there and has had over 70 hours in the past week. He works in the restaurants up there, cook, I think. He says it's been crazy busy, but really fun.

I was looking at the crowd scene very hard to try and find my husband. He was there this weekend. He came home sunburned.

My favorite shot is the last one. I like the story it tells.
