2011 Photo Recap

Posted by greenlakenick on August 2, 2011

Like last year, several guys brought digital cameras to take pics at the picturesque Bandon courses. A few of my faves:

Perfect attendance through fourteen Greenspans.

A wind-blown Pacific proved to be too much course for Smith -- and the rest of the field.

Waalkes iced his left leg after injuring his right one -- and then made a hole-in-one on both of them the next day.

The green- and bunker complexes at Old Mac provided some interesting challenges to Gran, among others.

So close, but yet so far.

But for one unfortunate putt on Saturday afternoon, O'Brien was one of the World Team's most reliable players.

Down three on Sunday morning, the World team rallied to take nine points -- and the Cup -- in a singles route.

Anderson (shown here with Aro) escaped with a half point in singles after Stonesifer five-putted from twenty feet.

Sharkey, shown here with fellow captain Harrison, improved to 9-1 since the tournament moved to Bandon.

A few too many beers, pics and ice cream cones combined with some very sketchy timing almost caused the Crab Shack Seven -- Anderson, Jenkins and Benezra among them -- to miss their flight home.

2010 Photo Recap

Posted by greenlakenick on August 3, 2010

Guys finally brought out their cameras at this year’s Cup. The setting — Bandon Dunes — had something to do with it. Mine can be viewed here (the ones on my family blog here). Among the better ones:

Half the Seattle Team at Friday morning breakfast.

Sharkey/Gran were down 5 after 9 in this Friday morning match -- and won.

Those grays weren't there thirteen years ago.

Waldner -- still striping it.

The fog on Pacific's 4th brought new meaning to the phrase 'blind tee shot.'

Norman was victorious on this day.

Gran pulling a Kozmo Kramer.

This was about the only rain we saw in three days.

Newcomer Ben Smith joined longtime vets Haight, Gaston and me for Saturday afternoon fourball tiebreaker.

Leo Madden made quite the statement in his, uh, medical pants.

Tony's Crab Shack made for a great post-event outing.

2009 Photo Recap

Posted by greenlakenick on August 6, 2009

This year was the first time we had more than two people (me, Cheever) snapping pics. Actually it was only one more guy — Madden — but they managed to snap a few good ones. Among my favorites:

I didn’t do a very good job snapping pics this year. But I did get a few:

2007 Photo Recap

Posted by greenlakenick on July 15, 2007

This year was my worst ever in the picture-taking department. I managed to cobble together about ten pictures in all. Among the best of them:

Stonesifer going for a more conventional look than the drunk-Cabo-chick look of '06.

2006 Photo Recap

Posted by greenlakenick on July 15, 2006

This year I borrowed a camera to do a little pic taking. Can’t say anyone will mistake me for a pro, but I snapped a few:
