Larry has shot courses all over the world-from New England to the Emerald Isles. His work is outstanding, and of the dozens of great pictures he took, we have compiled selected those we feel are the highlights. Click on the hole number below to see the image!

Another Ace At Sunday River!
Ed Frye, an avid golfer from Waterville, Maine, recorded his first ace on the 138 yard 14th today. Ed's hole in one shot was played from the white tees at Sunday River with his 8 iron.

Director of Golf Jeff Bickford and owner Dick Harris each had some camera time... but the real stars were the golf and the mountains.
