Favorite Tour Picture

[chickman1313]

If I wanted to frame a few images I've seen on here, what would be the best way to go about getting the image on quality photo paper and such?

You need high resolution pictures for print. Google search for golf pictures, then select tools menu, image size. You want the highest resolution you can get.

Out of true photographic artistry, this one is the winner.

Here's a nice one, with enough resolution for a high-quality print.

My first thought when seeing the picture above:

[imakaveli]

I've always had a soft spot for the man in the middle. Maybe it was the fact that he was the honorary starter at the Masters during the time I began my interest in golf (around the time they often aired Shell's on GC, which he hosted), or that he famously hit the "shot heard round the world", that he quietly became the second person to hold the Grand Slam, or that he invented the sand wedge. His contributions to the sport and legacy should not soon be forgotten. Gene Sarazen, everybody:

 

When golfers were still dressed like golfers and not like personal trainers. Great pic and shame on you, Nike

Faldo looks like he has a pretty big build for a golfer.*

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

*Lets not get carried away here. He isn't built like a linebacker and that's not what I'm saying. Just saying he looks a bit thicker than the average tour guy.

Was the PGA Tour in existence when this great golfer played? I'm not sure but don't think so.

 

Originally established by the Professional Golfers' Association of America, it was spun off in December 1968 into a separate organization for tour players, as opposed to club professionals, the focal members of today's PGA of America. Originally the "Tournament Players Division," it adopted the name "PGA Tour" in 1975 ...

He came to the US in 1947 and won 11 of the 59 tournaments he played in the next couple of years. Half of his finishes were in the top 3. Officially he was banned for not showing up to some tournaments he had committed to, which was true. The quote about banning him for being too good is attributed to Claude Harmon. The ban was lifted in 1951, but he very rarely came back to the US To play.

In honor of my hometown golfing legend, Harvey Penick, let’s see some of his handy work...

 

He taught Crenshaw and Kite to swing like a freaking boss...

 

Tom Kites swing circa 1973-1986 was a thing of perfect art....as was Crenshaws

 

1976 Birkdale below

Is that swing hard on the back?

The PGA Tour was founded 2 December 1929.

He could always peg it, sponsor's exemption or not.

Personally I think it’s a myth...

I think of Jack, Monty, Norman, Watson, Seve, Weiskopf, and dozens of othe top reverse C players who aged beautifully..

 

Vijay is my favorite example of the modern game getting owned by a reverse C simply because it was so much better and more flexible the older he got...

 

It is a style for straight and high...not bombing...although Jack and Vijay could hammer it...

 

Greg Norman’s swing was a work of art and I don’t recall him having any back issues and he almost identically copied jack and miller after impact....

I was going to post that one!

Best hair on tour.

 

Yes, and still only a shadow of the hairs from the golden age, the 70s and 80s. I hate the baseball caps everyone's wearing now.
