Thumbs up perspective (pics)

PERSPECTIVE:

Best Tee Shot ! Even if your not a golfer, and a lot of you getting
this aren't, this is really pretty cool. By all means, do follow in
sequence, it is much more dramatic.

Pictures of Tiger Woods practicing off the heli-deck of the Burj Al
Arab hotel in Dubai, UAE. Taken when Tiger was in Dubai for the Desert Classic, March 2, 2004. $1 million appearance fee, and he gets to hit shag balls from the tallest hotel in the world.

Yes, Tiger is paid $1 million each year just to play in the Dubai
Desert Classic, regardless of how he plays. But hitting golf balls off the top of this "hotel" is really neat.

Bet you've never seen golf balls hit like this, or a hotel like this.

For best effect, view the pictures in numerical order.
The last picture really puts it in perspective.

When we had appartments in college on some overserved nights we would tee up some golf balls with our drivers and hit off the roof of a 3 decker. I can drive a ball 500yrds down the street.

Canalrat1 probably remembers the times the Lepers would bring a driver or 3 wood down to our Canal hang-out, and we'd try to hit balls across the Canal. Sometimes, we'd see if we could clear a barge and wind up shanking it and banging one off the hull

That hotel is so cool. I was drinking $12 beers up there in July 03. They have a restaurant that you have to take a submarine to !

I bet Tiger is pegging sunbathers on that beach.
