From the back tee: During a recent trip to Asheville, N.C., Golfdom Editor-in-Chief Seth Jones visited Omni Grove Park Inn Superintendent Tim Moore. The two are standing on an area of No. 1 where Moore plans to create a new tee box.

Thanks for the ride!: Graham and Chapman were ever so gracious to offer a lift from the shop to the 18th green. After the day was over, DiFranco wasn’t lucky enough to snag a ride back though, toughing out the hilly road back to the car.

No need for the Konica Minolta Shot Tracker for this ball: When Golfdom Publisher Craig MacGregor unleashed this drive at Royal Niagara GC, in Niagara-on-the-Lake, Ontario, everyone instantly lost the ball. Only when Mac looked down did he see where the ball ‘landed.’

Victory cheers: North Coast Media President and CEO Kevin Stoltman and his two playing partners, Jones and MacGregor, hoist a beer at Royal Niagara GC, in celebration of winning the annual North Coast Media Sales Team Golf Tournament with a score of 2-under. (It’s always a good thing to play well when we’re playing with The Boss.)
