What the hell is Groucho Marx doing wearing a turban?

Oh, that's priceless. Didn't notice that at first. Can't stop laughing now.

I thought that was Cheech ha ha

I like the little kid who had to crouch to see the shot between other people, and the look on the caddy's face.

"Say the secret word and the duck will come down and give you 25 dollars."

If anyone else is old enough to remember that, please don't admit it.

He's dressed up as Jimenez. Obviously. Fantastic picture - it's like a painting. Feel like I could look at it for half an hour and still be finding new things in it.

What's a Jimenez?

He's a red wine, black coffee and Cohiba-fueled golfing god with a ginger ponytail, and an admirer from the sub-continent with a penchant for dressing up, it would seem. Here's a picture, here's a video, and if you want some more, he'll be dishing it out to Bubba Watson tomorrow.

The Jiminez look definitely requires more effort than the McElroy McAfro wig.

Is that Ricky Hollywood beside Cheech?

JJ, I believe you've linked to a photo of Gene Hackman.

Re-touched for posterity's sake.

Dude, that is hilarious. If you have a hi-rez of the last, I have a new desktop.

It's not Jimenez, it's Hemeneh.

God I hate how some announcers sound when they pronounce his name.

Ufez, that was awesome!

Heh. Not my doing, just sharing the brilliance.

I didn't know what the world you guys were talking about (cheech, marx comments) until i clicked on the link--STUPID Google ads were blocking the right half of my pic on the main page. Does anyone know how to get rid of them? They didn't used to be as intrusive as they now are and there's nowhere to click to get rid of them. Anyway, I digress and great job Ufez!

Well, get used to that guy's face.

The photographer discusses the shot.

With how happy everyone is in the retouched picture, I would have thought it was a great shot!
