My Daily Bunker Shot - Craig Jones gives me my daily bunker shot at the

Thanks Craig. Looks like the guy on the other side of the green got his bunker shot as well . . . Photos by: GoforGOLF |

To Finish - Two Great Winners - An informal situation between Sir Bob Charles, 4 times winner
of the NZ Open, and Terry Price, the new winner, and now twice winner of the NZ Open.
This has been one of the Best Opens I have viewed and photographed. The leading group never broke clear, with places changing every day. The winner was not known until the 18th . . . with the amateur challenging the seasoned professional to the end. Thank You Sir Bob . . . and Thank You . . . the new breed of superb professional golf players for a terrific four days of golf. Photos by: GoforGOLF |
