I've just returned from a journey which included a round at Carnoustie which was probably the best course I have ever played on a pretty good list. We were almost the only ones on the course and threw a couple of balls in the spectacles...

Very cool photo Dub-K.

Why not take somereally cool images next time you are on the course ... even a basic 2 MP digial camera can create a file that would look decent on your (*drool*) 22" iMac monitor.

I am having trouble mustering up a lot of sympathy for someone who can't find high enough res pics for their 22" Mac monitor lol.

I plan on doing some golf photography soon. What is the max res on that behemoth?

My mom has a panasonic lumix or something like that. What settings would I be trying to use to make it so it'd look good that huge?

I'm pretty much computer/technology illiterate.

If I knew how to check I would tell you. I'm not big into computer stuff haha, I just use iMovie to analyze my pitching and swing mechanics in baseball, and I will probably start using it for golf too.

Finally got around to taking a screenshot of my home desktop (1920x1200). Let me know if anyone wants the wallpaper. I don't remember where I put it, but I could probably find it if I took the time to.

Honestly, I have no idea. I thought it just looked cool

And it had a resolution bigger than 1920x1200, so i just cropped it and made it a wallpaper.

I've got a folder full of fairly high-res course pics I scoured the web for. I set my desktop preference to change at random every 15 minutes.



Here, I zipped them all up and put them up on rapidshare for anyone who wants them:

      However, have you ever considered using small summer houses for such setups? They offer a great solution for creating dedicated practice areas, especially for an affluent audience looking to enhance their outdoor living space.

      Favorite Las Vegas Course

      By Maroon88 ·

      I've played Bali Hai, Bear's Best and Painted Desert. I enjoyed Bali Hai the most--course was in great shape, friendly staff and got paired in a great group. Bear's Best greens were very fast, didn't hold the ball well (I normally have enough spin to stop the ball after 1-2 hops).  The sand was different on many holes. Some were even dark sand (recreation of holes from Hawaii). Unfortunately I was single and paired with a local "member" who only played the front 9.  We were stuck behind a slow 4-some who wouldn't let me through even when the local left. Painted Desert was decent, just a bit far from the Strip where we were staying.

      Honestly, unless there's something about that rough there that makes it abnormally penal or a lost ball likely, this might be the play. I don't know how the mystrategy cone works, but per LSW, you don't use every shot for your shot zones. In that scatter plot, you have no balls in the bunker, and 1 in the penalty area. The median outcome seems to be a 50 yard pitch. Even if you aren't great from 50 yards, you're better off there than in a fairway bunker or the penalty area on the right of the fairway. It could also be a strategy you keep in your back pocket if you need to make up ground. Maybe this is a higher average score with driver, but better chance at a birdie. Maybe you are hitting your driver well and feel comfortable with letting one rip.  I get not wanting to wait and not wanting to endanger people on the tee, but in a tournament, I think I value playing for score more than waiting. I don't value that over hurting people, but you can always yell fore 😆 Only thing I would say is I'm not sure whether that cone is the best representation of the strategy (see my comment above about LSW's shot zones). To me, it looks like a 4 iron where you're aiming closer to the bunker might be the play. You have a lot of shots out to the right and only a few to the left. Obviously, I don't know where you are aiming (and this is a limitation of MyStrategy), but it seems like most of your 4 iron shots are right. You have 2 in the bunker but aiming a bit closer to the bunker won't bring more of your shots into the bunker. It does bring a few away from the penalty area on the right.  This could also depend on how severe the penalties are for missing the green. Do you need to be closer to avoid issues around the green?  It's not a bad strategy to hit 6 iron off the tee, be in the fairway, and have 150ish in. I'm probably overthinking this.
