Golf Root Rule

[Inspired by the 2009 World Series]
Sec. IV, p. 4 -- "A golf ball resting on a tree root must be played as it lies unless it struck a TV camera, in which case it is a home run."

Moon over the 10th tee

Don't believe anything you see on the internet.



The 2009 Harvest Moon — the full moon falling closest to the autumn equinox — did rise in front of the 10th tee around dusk tonight but it didn’t look anything like this. The picture above is a PhotoShopped composite of 3 different pictures I took and edited in order to present a more pleasing visual image. The moon shown is 300% larger than the original.

Think of it as what you should have seen, not what you did see.

Unidentified object crosses face of the moon

The other night I was minding my own business taking a movie of the lunar crater Archimedes when someTHING flew right through my field of view. I ran predictions for several hundred known earth satellites and none were likely candidates.

What could it have been?
It must have been a satellite, an aircraft would have appeared much larger. The time was 9:37 PM on September 27, 2009 in Pinehurst, NC. -- Dalton Hammond

Hummingbird sitting on pine straw

Ever see a hummingbird sitting on the ground?

This was taken with the Nikon Coolpix on full zoom, handheld, shooting through sunroom window. Now you have seen it.
