Jim's first tee shot

Grant, brad & I were in the group behind - so didn't get to see too much more of the match. We got 2 updates - where Mike was 1up each time.

But this is what greeted us at our 18th hole - no result!

Can see who Amanda was going for. Snapping Mike in the middle of his back swing and Jim in the follow through ;)

Thanks everyone! Picked up a new camera on the weekend - a nice compact one that's perfect for golf.

Expect lots of pics from Sydney ozgolf days from now on :) (I don't think I'll ever match the quality of Tezza's pics though - my equipment & skill aint that flash!)

Well done Jim. Watch out next year. Mike might be gunning for ya!

Nothing wrong with these pice Amanda, they're great. You have a big advantage over me when you take your camera to golf....

You can put it in your pocket :cry:

The course looks in good nique. Very green!

How did it play & are the fairways as good as they look in the photos?
(or is Amanda the new Jeannine Henebry with the photographic brilliance to make any course look great)
