Torrey Pines, up close and personal

| | Comments (0) |

june6_gigapan01_299x288.jpgA technology called GigaPan is available on Golf Magazine's golf.com website that allows you to see a few parts of Torrey Pines as close as if you were viewing from a teebox through a scope. The ability to get it close up, then pan left, right, up and down, as it refocuses in detail, is an interesting concept and a way to make it feel as if you're on the course.
Sports Illustrated photographer Fred Vuich took the high-resolution shots of the par 3 No. 3 hole that looks out onto the Pacific; the bunker-lined 18th green; the 11th fairway; the No. 4 par 4 and from tee to green on No. 13.
At the link above, there are more photos of Augusta National and TPC Sawgrass.
For best results, zoom the photo in as close as you'd like, then use the toggle arrows to move around from side to side.
