A BIT OF WHIMSY

This collection of shots for the most part seems a bit offbeat, but perhaps interesting enough for a smile or two.

  • LaP, I ran out of olives one day and once again proved that necessity is the mother of invention. Best tasting strawberry ever.

  • Thanks all. Sopris, the putter photo may come back to haunt me. My wife, a/k/a The General, didn't know I posted the photo, and has hinted that I may be the next target of her putter. bfinokc, I hope Surferguy saw your comment. I have been trying, without success, to one up him for many months. Thank you.

  • Excellent post, colbb! Loved them all especially the heron, pigeon, martini and attack dog. The martini shot was so cool and inviting... I don't drink much hard liquor and even I wanted one. The look on the little dog is priceless. The ship in the water hazard... do they have them all over the course?

  • loweho, the model ship is on the par 3 #9 hole only, the signature hole of the course. The course is on the Navy Base in Los Alamitos, CA, now open to the public but we (active & retired military) get two day advantaage on booking tee times. A really challenging, long layout. The heron and putter photos also from the Navy course.
