The Wyndham Championship / PGA TOUR / August 20-23, 2009

[Yoda]

I was able to tweet a few from the tournament site. See #220-226 here: http://lynnblakegolf.com/forum/thread6617-22.html

Now, after a couple of weeks delay, I've finally found some time to put up a few photos:

#1 PGA TOUR players at work on the range. Behind them, the ever-present assortment of 'toys' from the equipment manufacturers.

#2 Billy Anderson and Bill Haas finishing a Tuesday practice round on #9. The renovated clubhouse is in the background.

#3 Billy at address. Here we've set up a station to 'trace' an Open Plane Line and produce a fade.

#4 Donald Ross maintaining an eternal vigil over his handiwork at Sedgefield CC.

#5 Early morning (6:40 a.m.!) practice round Wednesday. Had to get in front of the coming pro-am. In our group: Alex Cjeka; Greg Chalmers; and Joe Oglivy.

#6 Billy hits his second into the long par 4, 507-yard, 18th. Members play it as a par 5.

#7 12 Piece Bucket pays us a visit on the practice range.

#8 Billy and me on the 18th teebox.

#9 Billy and his caddy, Mark, on the 9th green.

#10 Billy with Carl Pettersen, last year's Wyndham winner. Carl is also a member at Eagle Point GC in Wilmington, NC, where Billy is head professional.

#11 Great Finish by Billy off 18.

#12 Set-up for the 'half and half' chip shot. Note centered head, body in address position, hands in impact position, and ball well back toward right foot (to assure clean impact in near-zero pivot situation).

#14 Nicely done from the practice bunker.

#15 Tough love . . . Sedgefield style!

#16 View from the 16th green.

#17 Billy selects a club on #15 while Mark gets yardages.
