Instagram: Kingston, Wilshire And Shinnecock

It's a law firm! 

In a Friday golf architecture-focused edition of Instagram shots I've enjoyed, we kick off with an unusual angle of (photographic) approach to Kingston Heath's 11:

A very LA Open-like weather day for the LPGA's return to the LA city limits. A few of my shots, just use the arrows to the right to see all...

The tents are going up, now it's just time for spring weather to rejuvenate the native grasses. One of golf's most beautiful par-4s:

Instagram: Kodaira's Winning Putt, Golf Gets A Gray Malin, A Putter Recovery From Sand And The Living Brand Is Still Crazy After All These Years

It seemed like no one could hit a decent putt Sunday at Harbour Town--I blame the early wake up call to get play in before storms--but Satoshi Kodaira made a beauty on the third hole of sudden death for his first PGA Tour win. He had never finished better than 28th in limited PGA Tour play. That 28th was at last week's Masters, so of course we should have seen this coming.

Instagram: Poulter's Bogey-Free Streak, Flesch Wins After 38 Holes, Jordan Spaeth Gets By Jeopardy Judges And A New Way To Get Speed

Since Thursday bogeys at 8 and 9, Ian Poulter has not recorded another since and leads the RBC Heritage heading in to Sunday. Golf Channel and CBS coverage times here.

 The Houston Open winner is swinging the club beautifully:

With rough weather forecast Sunday, the Mitsubishi Electric Classic played 36 Saturday and Steve Flesch won on the second playoff hole. It's the first PGA Tour Champions win for one of the good ones, though we may need to work on the hat removal timing:
