This is a little off topic, but 10 years ago I was involved in helping build a new course. My General Manager called the paper to come out and do a few publicity shots. So when the photographer comes out he starts taking a bunch of pics and then he sees me mowing a green and said he'd like a shot of me mowing the green. As soon as I began to get the mower in proper position, I lost control of it and began sliding down a steep hill and got stuck. So the guy says to forget the mowing part, just do something around the flagstick, so I knell down and pretend to be doing something around the cup. So of all the pics he took that day, he chose the one of me for the front page of the sports page above the fold doing absolutely nothing - and in the background you see this stupid greensmower stuck on the side of the hill.
