With winter in full swing, and most of us in the northern hemisphere going nuts, I was wondering what "get's you by" through the months where we can't golf. Pictures from warmer climates, better times, good rounds.. whatever.

What's your desktop background, and where is it from?

Currently, West Bend Country Club (West Bend, WI) #12:

Just ask pitbill to send you some Hawaiin ones....he knows NOT our pain and suffering......

Wait, why can't you golf again? It was 80 and sunny all day here!



No, I do feel your pain. This is first ever winter golfing. (Just moved from Massachusetts)

having the new cobra MB as background right now =)

lol this is mine, makes me laugh any time i see it about how stupid my town is cause it describes it all. Palm trees, smart cars and tim hortons being the center of the town. I havent seen many other places up here with palm trees

doesnt really get me to think of warmer times, but oh well most of the time its either Chambers Bay or Koolau

Here is mine:

My home course back home (Sandpiper GC in Agassiz BC). 15th fw and 16th green in backgroud, right on the harrison river.

Now im in Erie PA for college... Much more depressing weather:(.

BGJ- hows the weather been in the lower mainland? I keep hearing from my parents that you guys got a dump of snow then the pineapple express came blowin up? Do you guys have snow again yet?

The weather has been really dumb over here, we got about 6 inches a couple weeks ago, the next morning i woke up and it was all of sudden gone it had rained so hard, took a ton of snow off of the the local mountains, which are just reopening and now its mainly just horribly frosty here and hanging around freezing, had snow on sunday but about a cm that melted by the end of the day. Dont know about around aggasiz and chiliwack and such, not out there too much.

I like ot go to google and images and go to the Xtra large ones some nice pictures to use. I currently have an Adidas/Taylormade combo backround

These are just a couple from my home course I took to get me through wallpaper wise for the winter, and a couple from florida. Not the greatest quality on here, but they look good as my wallpaper

Norton update and scan, windows update!

I took this one myself...love it!!!

I don't understand the roller coaster either, but hey.. whatever works for you.

Update:

Erin Hills #5 (Hartford, WI)



Just felt like a change, since I'm looking outside at snow/sleet/rain right now. Ugh..

Good to see someone else out the there repping the Apple computers! Man those are some nice pictures there guys, keep em coming.

Don't worry it can be our little secret.

great Desktop Backgrounds!

Ok the roller coaster is king da ka and it is the tallers and fastest coaster ever built 0 to 128 in 2.5 seconds (which is a little faster than an nhra pro stock.) and 458 feet straight up. If you rode it you would know why he has it up there. It is the best feeling ever. (yes ever I mean anything, yes even that.) I didnt think it was possible to propel a human that fast. It will literally blow your contacts right out of your eyes.

My current background is below and is from a 4 day motorcycle trip with all my biker buddies.

my current rotation

From my last trip to Spain. Pic taken at Saint Pere de Rhodes, up above the Mediterranean.

Mine are these...
By the way if you happen to be near Scarborough in England go and play Scarborough South Cliff!

You don't happen to be an insurance agent are you?

I see icons for Applied systems, Auto Owners Insurance (and forms link), Progressive..

So, let me guess, you're on here a lot aren't you.

This is mine. lol.

It's a picture of my dog, Snoopy, attached to a picture of some random guy's finish. It took me about 30 minutes to make using Paint and Word.

Here are my golf screen savers: the last one is my dog at the course I work at. The other pictures are of Eagle Eye golf course.

Yep...on here all the time...well, when I'm not at the course anyway

Really though, the insurance business definitely has its benefits!

Eagle Eye? That looks helluva lot like TPC Sawgrass #17

hey italianstallion,

is one of those pics New Smyrna Beach Muni? i recognize that 17th water hazard anywhere! are you from there? my parents live down there and i've played quite a few of the courses down there.

small world.

-a.

My new one

Eagle Eye is a course near Lansing, MI. The 17th hole there is a replica of 17 at Sawgrass. It is an awesome course.

Funny, when the weather gets bad, like today, all I can think of getting to an island with beaches.

MY best day this year on the course. Royal New Kent in July. Pure heaven on earth. It's holy land.

Yes, that coaster is unreal. Unfortunately, the wait is never as quick as the launch, but its still worth it anyway



Actually, thats Disney's Magnolia course.




Are you from around here? I work there from srping to October. Best job I could possibly ask for, the golfing benifits are great too!

I live in Schenectady...play Sche. Muni a lot, Capitol Hills, West. Tpke, Orchard Creek, Colonie, and Stadium. My fav. are Capitol Hills and Orchard Creek.

Working there has to be fun, espec. the golf, like you said.
