I saw that too Harry. I called a couple of people and here is what I got. 3-4 questions were NOT answered by the majority of players. Most were answered and had fun with it.

I think in the Best Player without a victory catagory, Mcilroy should win hands down. I can understand it though seeing as he has not been on the tour very long.

For some reason this one stuck out to me the most, I just can't figure out why 3% would want to have dinner with Rory.
 
Is crazydog on tour?
 
Only see one pic Harry. And four white squares with red x's in them.

Edit:I don't know what's going on, if I take what's inside your IMG tags and paste it in my browser, it takes me to the picture.

Edit #2: Now I see the second pic.

Edit #3: Every time I do that, that pic shows up! This is weid. The strange thing is, Harry, yours are the only pics I have consistent trouble seeing!
 
I can see all but the last 2 pics. She is OK, nothing special though.
 
Bake: I have copied all his IMG tags into my browser (xcept the fourth) and I can see all those now (except the fourth!)

This is weird. Can you see the fifth one now?
 
The fifth:

At least I see it. "P.C. is not PC," rear view angle.
 
I saw that one before WSE; is everyone having an issue of some kind with those five pics?

The only one I stioll see the white box with the red x is the fourth one. The only one I did not copy and paste what's in the IMG tags.

Yeah, now I'm getting #1, 2, and 5, but not 3 and 4. Maybe you have to visit the site first to get the image page in your cache, then THP will pull it up when trying to view through the tag here? Dunno.

Edit: I think that must be it -- as I now see all 5 after first visiting the 5 of them by pasting into the browser.
 
I still cant see the 5th one, not at all. I cant even see the 5th one in WSE's posts.
 
Maybe. But does that happen with a lot of people's pics on here? Or just Harry's?

Not to single out Harry, because it happens from time to time with everyone's, but his happen an inordinate amount. Of course, he posts a ton of pics!

(On a side note, it NEVER has happened to me, that I recall, when he posts LPGA tournament pics!)
 
Usually pics show up for me... Perhaps thats a question you should ask Hacker.
 
Does the fact that they only show up if you've visited the picture in your browser have to do with the fact that the IMG tags in the post use a "cache.getty" address?

I'm pretty sure that's it.
 
I just can't believe you've all spent so much time on those photos!
 
We don't have anything else to do Claire!
 
Well I can't see all of the pics but the pics that are showing up dispell the hot wife theory.



Edit: Thanks for posting the pictures Harry, good job as always

I'm just too busy to be on much lately.

Wasn't there a similar survey within the past year? Some more whimsical questions?

Another post that is worthless without pictures.

As for the 3% that want to have dinner with Rory. He was the only one that voted to have dinner with him and his wife. :laugh:
