Doral Photos Day 1

[JB]

So we were able to check in to the hotel and walk over to the putting green and range. Not a ton going on today, but here are a few shots.

Wow JB, nice pictures, you have a true talent , also very nice quality and perfect size!

I am uploading my pictures now, most are duplicates, however, he had the better zoon lens so with mine you can see more of the course....and a few really cool pictures of the planes up ahead.

Doesn't that pic of Sabbatini make you just wanna slap him?

Sorry for my rage there.....I'll try to keep it under control.

 

[Harry Longshanks]

Doesn't that pic of Sabbatini make you just wanna slap him kick him in the groin?

Fixed it for you.

This is a gorgeous view from the Tee Box

The planes were so close and I thought this just made for a great picture...

 

[Dent]

Nice Pictures GG, you have talent too

 

[Floppy]

LOL @ how it says Tiger Woods and has a whole paragraph of his wins.

Nice pictures guys/(gals, hehe)...awesome!

 

[GolferGal]

Floppy, we thought the same thing, we were both laughing when we saw that sign.

 

[MO_Hacker]

Great pictures, as always. Looking forward to the coverage all week.

i like that Odyssey Staff bag!

 

[Harry Longshanks]

Thank you sir. May I have another?

 

[Gummi Bear]

Great pics, but I have one question: did you get Boo's autograph for me!?!?!?!

I dunno if he'll be here for the Byron or the Colonial.

 

[GolferGal]

lol Gummi, no we didn't get any autographs but boo was so nice he was signing for everyone. He just seems to be a very down to earth guy.

 

[JB]

Yeah no signings for us while we are here. But tomorrow we will be back out there and get tons of pictures for everyone during range sessions and practice rounds. Then we are attending the press conferences as well.

For those of us who've never been to a PGA Tour event, what's the deal with the staff bags full of clubs? Are they there just for looks, or are the pros invited to walk over and try them to see how they like 'em, or what? It would be sort of strange for a sponsored pro to walk over and pull a competitor's stick to play around with in plain sight, I would think. That's how rumors get started.

Edit: Great pix, guys. Thanks.

Great Question WSE, was just about to ask the same thing.

It makes me want to steal his belt!

Boo does look like a sweetie.

 

[Floppy]

Great Question WSE, was just about to ask the same thing.

I'm also wondering.

 

[adwillingham]

The pictures look great, looking forward to seeing more over the next few days.

 

[Sir Shanksalot]

Wow. Those are professional quality pictures. Looking forward to more. I especially like to see which professionals hang out together when given the chance.

 

[worst_shot_ever]

Cool pix of Patty and his entourage.

I know on the ladies tour that there is a day or 2 prior to play where equipment is displayed on the range and offered for sale to the pros, as well as to the ams who compete in the pro/ams. It doesn't happen at each event, but many of them.
