I love taking my camera to the course, but then I struggle trying to focus on both, so the game goes south and I don't end up with any good shots. Thanks for posting.

What a beautiful location, that clubhouse is classy, jacket and tie worn at all times I presume ?
Love the second shot, the beaver saved a job as the divot flew obligingly through the air toward him.
And the final picture of the sun shot through the lilacs, I like the flare effect.
Excellent selection Ian but how did you both play, or have you a further selection for another day

Looks like a real nice course although, I don't play. I like the beaver shot and the caption the best. NIce work.

Snowdust, trust me I'm struggling with this very issue .. I've been an avid golfer for many years, DP for a couple of months .. I'm easily distracted and just as fast to go back to where I was, so it's ok .. I may just grab a cart early and get shoot before I shoot ...

Beach ... Don't post this on the web or anything, but my 17 year old laid a beating on me .. took me by 12 strokes .. I accidentally bent his putter when I put the bags back in the garage .. I'll update soon ..

Fred, for you buddy there were 2 and 3 pound bass in these ponds .. they were still on the nests and season is a bit away .. but I wonder if I can mix 3 obsessions into this mix?

Thx David .. I'm starting to feel ok with playing with sun in shots .. Here's a slightly different view of the same lilac .. I like the way the flares look like they're streaming into the bloom

Nice work ! I like the sun shots with the lilacs (I just took some myself that are downloading now) I think it is a great effect.

Jack, the lilacs are my favorite too. I personally like shots with some sun flare.
