Random stuff from Photobucket…

Been fortunate enough that work takes me to some far reaches of the globe. Some of these pics are of those far reaches, others, much closer to home.

During the summer olympics, Google’s splashpage had daily, olympic-themed images. Thought this particular one to be a bit ‘suspect’. A nog hurdling down a track of watermelon.
Image

A side street in Amsterdam getting prepped for Queen’s Day, one big nationwide party. I was fortunate enough to have to be in Amsterdam each year over Queens day and it did not disappoint. Also had the fortune of being there during the World Cup four years ago. While I’m not a soccer fan, it was still a blast on the evenings that the Netherlands played.

Image

Me, on one of my favorite golf courses in the whole wide world, Monarch Dunes in Nipomo, CA. Course is a bitch and as close to a true links style course as you’ll find in the west.
Image

The ‘Ship Tavern’, a pub some-effing-where in London. Had a weekend to myself and on this day was just taking the underground to explore the city. ‘Round lunchtime or so, stopped in here and that’s where the self-guided-tour ended. Funny what a few pints and great people to BS with will do to ya’. Last thing I remember was a group of male and female brits standing up in the booth, surrounding me and singing our national anthem to me with their pints above their heads.
Image

Some Pad Thai I made. Whatever.
Image

Me talking a dutch tourist into eating a fried grasshopper with me from a street stall in Thailand. While I was being talked into eating it by a co-worker of mine, saw her to the side watching and laughing. Took about 2 seconds for me to call her out on it.
Image

Some gorgeous scenery at the southern edge of the Gobi Desert in northern China.
Image

Some not so gorgeous scenery in the middle of the Gobi Desert.
Image

Frost delay at La Paloma Golf Resort in Tuscon.
Image

Approach shot on #18 at my absolute favorite golf course, La Purisima Golf Course in Lompoc, CA. Bitch of a hole in which the Eucalyptus pretty much forces you to cut one in to the pin. Btw, Lompoc is where that the shark went up 1-0 on humans yesterday. Been to Surf Beach many times.
Image

Lastly, one of my favorite bars, the Elbo Room in Ft. Lauderdale. Took this sitting at the bar overlooking the A1A and the beach.

Looks like you hit that ball a good 6-7 feet.

I doubt it -- it's Ken, and he has an iron in his hand, not a driver.

I laughed.
That’s actually a mushroom to the right a bit. If you look closely, the actual ball is just off the shaft of the club.

I was going to go with a tee marker, but then I realized it wasn't the right color for the ladies' tees.

Use the context within the pic. Just try. I obviously drove it into the right rough thus requiring a ‘leftish’ shot to the green. If you think that looks like a ‘shank’ left (btw, a shank is off the hosel which goes RIGHT. Perhaps you meant a ‘duck hook’?), take a look at my alignment and the direction of the ball flight. Yeah, it was a ‘shank’ :rolleyes:

Spare me the technical definition of a "shank" there Kenny...it was a slam against a bad golf shot..shank, duck hook, whiff, whatever. Tell me you knew.

Got it. I actually thought you were playing a terrible slice or from the adjacent hole. Did it get there?

Don't be crazy, Ken's 7 iron is good for at least 90 yards.

Nah… had about 110 yds to the hole. My 7-iron couldn’t get there.

nice course, the video tour and scorecard make it look like the kind of course where almost every other hole has the potential to put up a huge number....
and as close to a true links style course as you’ll find in the west.
bandon dunes and Chambers Bay think that's a pretty fucked up claim :grin:

In case your not aware, this is what "off in the distance" looks like.
