April 17th 2013 We Played Golf And Laughed A Lot
Ghislaine slams the ball (the blurring white item is the ball)
The day was a tad windy but otherwise magnificent
James has his turn and it was a magnificent shot
We got a visit by a Boeing Vertol CH-46 Sea Knight
It was a beautiful day
James at bat
Wally attempts to sink a putt on seven
...and he made it
Did You Know? - Putting is the most precise aspect of the game of golf. The putter must be designed to give the golfer every technical advantage including smooth stroke, good glide, sweet impact, and bounce-less topspin ball launch as well as every technique advantage including perfect fit as to shaft angle and length.
The striking face of a putter is usually not perpendicular to the ground: putters have a small amount of loft, intended to "lift" the ball out of any depression it has made or settled into on the green, which reduces bouncing. This loft is typically 5-6°, and by strict rules cannot be more than 10°.
This is why we live in California
Ghislaine pushes... Wally drives... Paul walks
The flowers were beautiful.... Spring is here
Sue hits the ball well on #9
Did You Know? - The world record holder, Mike Dobbyn, whose longest drive is a world record 551 yards, is 6'8" and a muscular 310 pounds, implying that raw power is also very important, particularly in the left shoulder and right pectoral (for a right-handed golfer) and in the twitch muscles on the left side.
Perhaps a small divot is involved here???
Ghislaine goes over the water on this shot...
Wally smashes the ball (seen as the oblong white blur)
Ghislaine's ball is mid-flight on #10
Playing along Lampson Blvd
NO! They did not loose their ball... They are hiding from the men who are teeing off behind them
The mountains are forty miles away
It was windy and these guys found shelter from the wind - Smart ducks!!
Sue's geese were happy to see her
After the round Wally and Ghislaine joined the gang for some partying
Bunnaford is another day older today.....
She only does this every two years now
Wally hoists a brew
Ghislaine's vodka is almost done
We had a great day!
