Dashed up to Sherwood Country Club this morning before my tee-time. Got there just as the gates opened. None of the pros were out yet, but the AMs were hard at work on their over-the-top moves and flying right elbows! :tongue: Waited near the driving range and got to see Tiger, DC, Michael Campbell, Geoff Ogilvy, Thomas Bjorn, Fred Funk, Freddie, David Toms, Luke Donald, Chris Dimarco, and Furyk. Most of the fellas were in a section I had no access to, but I was able to snap a few photos for your viewing pleasure ! :drinks:

A view from the tee of hole #10.

A look at the putting green...rolling about 12 and P-U-R-E !
Posted Image

A look down the 18th fairway...like hitting into your walk-in closet!
Posted Image

Cabbage surrounding the green and a glass tabletop from above the hole.

A look down the fairway of hole #1.

Tigers's bag.

The host...

The "infamous" 5-wood...
STOCK :blink: T-40 Tour with a standard (non-ion) Diamana 103-X.

Michael Campbell's bag...check out the grind on that 60°! :ok:
Posted Image

DC...personality to spare! :pimp:

DC's bag.

Michael Campbell's Diamana 73-X in his FT-3 Tour.

JF with Fluff...he keeps his knees closer together than most virgins I know!
Posted Image

Paddy Harrington's tools.
Posted Image

Fred Funk testing the first of (3) R7 425s. All had the Robax with slightly different tipping.

FF's bag.

Thanks for the pics! A couple of comments:

1. You know some virgins? You might not want to broadcast that as they are in as high a demand as a Cameron 009.

2. There were some very interesting pants...Darren Clarke's plaid and Fred Funk's cargo. Is Funk inking a new clothing deal with Old Navy or American Eagle? C'mon, he just won over $900 grand in the Skins Game and he can't find a nice pair of Zanella or Zegna trousers. Maybe he forgot his pants and Target gave him some from the boys' department. :cheesy:

3. That range looked kinda chewed up, more like a daily fee public course.

LOL...nice zingers! The range was a bit Pamela Anderson, but that comes as a result of some very suspect member swings.

I don't think I'll be going up for any other rounds. I've got lessons and starter duties the rest of the week. :cry:

Very nice pics, but next time don't photoshop out the fairways! :blink: Very good description of the 18th--I'd use a wedge and just chip it on home (if you ever need a fourth). ;)

You are right about the fairways. My camera is 8 megapixels and the originals are just so big. I'm supposed to be putting something together with a member in a couple of weeks...kind of an early Christmas present! :D



Thanks for all the praises, fellas!

Those are the milled RAC prototypes. Very limited release on tour. Pre-cursor to the '05 RAC TP irons.
