Default Todays Golf Game

No, I do not play golf. My husband is an avid golfer and asked me to come along and shoot some pictures of him playing so he could study his form. These are a couple of fun ones I came up with. How do ya like the views on this course?

As a one time golfer myself. I can really appreciate the views on this golf course. It really does make you feel better to play on a scenic course. Doesn't make you play any better though. I just love these captures and it makes me want to just be out with those big hairy bikers. us golfer do come in all shapes and sizes. lol

Jake.

our foursome like to fancy ourselves as playing in the scenic tour - play in a very nice golf course or most of the time - looking for our balls .. thus the Scenic Tour

Thanks all! The study went very well. They all got to see how they are standing, how they wre carrying out and ending thier swings. I think it taught them all something.
That and my husbands clubs are too short cause he was always hunched over.
Poor guy always has a hard time finding stuff that fits him. At 6"5.5" he has a tough time

No matter what the situation is, you always come through with some beautiful shots. Nicely done. Though motocross is my sport, I have had a few golf / business meetings and I must say that the courses have never been that beautiful.

beauty shots .. not sure which one is your husband, but the guy in the blue is showing great balance on the follow through and brown guy is sure to launch one as he looks all coiled up did he push it a tad right by chance? .. you can't meet a better bunch of people than on the golf course, 'cept for here .. great series ..

my humble opinion! The last photo is one of a golfer just about to either pull it straight left or slice it to the right due to his arm plane going a bit straight up. His rotaion through the ball will cause his left arm to pull the clubhead across the ball towards the mountain by his shoulder. The ball will have either gone somewhat in that direction and stayed the course or it would have started in that direction and about halfway would have started screaming towards the right. My guess anyways! Great shots by the way!
