background was a cutoff from a curly red maple board, the golfer is some redwood burl, golf ball is MOP, and the hole is a little piece of brazilian.

Looks nice, Paddy. Any reason why you went lefty? And why is his stance so open? Is this green breaking right heavily?

Thanks Paddy, how thick is your material just before inlaying it? That redwood burl is just awesome!
