Hello there! If you are new here, you might want to subscribe to the RSS feed for updates on this topic.

A few golf-related pictures made it to the front of my Flickr queue.

Jake In Paradise – Jacob playing Balcomie Links, in Crail, Scotland on October 14, 2005.

Silver Creek – I saw this golf cart in a shop window in London back in 2004.

I really don’t know why I didn’t buy this golf cart. Check out the larger version to see all the detail. One of the courses in my home town, Morganton, NC, is named Silver Creek¹, so it would have special meaning for me.

¹Their web designer has apparently never heard of a JPEG.

	Some more pics uploaded to Flickr… Three more of my favorite pictures from my collection. The first one might look like crazy pink play money to you, but I assure you, it’s worth a lot of money. I have no idea why the EU decided to have a single bill worth $643.45. Fourteen Thousand Euros [...]

Has it really already been a year? Time to head back, I say.

As if an excuse was needed, my stash of single malt has dried up. Two bottles got me through a year.

Count me in. I’m ready to go back. My Glenlivet is gone, and my game is back. I think I could compete this year. Or, next . . .

I see where Paul Casey shot a 63 at Kingsbarns today. That reminds me of Erik’s back nine there.

I don’t think we should go back to Kingsbarns until they make the back nine a little harder. I mean, really…challenge me a little!

Hey, do you realize that the day we played Kingsbarns was my -2 wedding anniversary? I hadn’t considered it until just now.
Paul

Do you know what happened on your -138 wedding anniversary? Your Dad’s Dad’s Dad’s Dad started his career.

Rasmus Elias Rasmussen was born in Bergen on Feb. 25, 1854. His parents were Rasmus Rasmusen Næs and Marthe Marie Olsen. He first signed on as a sailor at the age of 15. This was on Oct. 13, 1869, on the vessel “Hanna” on a trip from Bergen to Østensjøen. They returned on Nov. 1, 1869.

That’s cool. I think I still value more the anniversary of the best round of golf I’ve ever played on the most beautiful course I’ve ever played (and the Templar slaughtering in 1307).

George Catlin, Prairie Meadows Burning, 1832

From the Smithsonian American Art Museum:

George Catlin painted ominous, swirling clouds of black smoke that loom out of the distance and drive the Indians before them. The artist was an eyewitness to such terrifying events, and described the fire’s “thunder rumbling as it goes.” But he also wrote that prairie fires made for “some of the most beautiful scenes that are to be witnessed in this country, and also some of the most sublime.”
