Golfdom Gallery: May 2017

1. Flying the not-so-friendly skies Golfdom EIC Seth Jones bumped in to Annika Sorenstam at the Phoenix airport. While Annika got home no problem, Jones was delayed and had to take an overnight flight to Charlotte to get to Kansas City. (At least he didn’t get beat up.)

2. Miller time at the ANA Inspiration John Miller, CGCS, LPGA Tour, (left) and David Hay, CGCS, director of agronomy at Mission Hills CC, Rancho Mirage, Calif., smile for a photo. Hey David, we dig that lid!

3. New addition to the gallery Artist Graeme Baxter (left) has his work on display in 40 different countries. And now his print of the 18th Hole at the Dinah Shore Tournament Course at Mission Hills will be on display at Golfdom headquarters. Now if we could only convince Seth to take down his Velvet Elvis.

4. Best breakfast in turf An annual tradition at Mission Hills, the crew fired out a mean Mexican breakfast for the crew during the LPGA’s first major of the year.

5. This is my happy face There are few things Jared Taylor, superintendent of the Dinah Shore Tournament course at the 54-hole Mission Hills CC, hates more than having his photo taken. Here, we somehow actually caught him in a smile.

6. Here comes the bride (and Buddy) It was a beautiful March Saturday for a wedding. All of us at Golfdom came out to watch Associate Editor Grant “Buddy” Gannon and Marlee make the leap. Hope you two enjoy the bread maker we all pitched in on!
