Default Golf Tourney

My brother had a golf tournament yesterday and i chose to be his caddy/photographer. It was very cloudy and i didn't want the flash on, so i had to turn the shutter speed down. As a result, I usually had motion blur. Anyway, these are a few that made my final cut:

Fast action photos are always tough unless you have a high shutter speed. None the less, I like the ideas for each of your pictures.
Is there a setting on your camera where you could have bumped the ISO up? Espically since it was cloudy.
That might have helped you get your shutter speed up.

Im not sure if the camera you used is a P&S so I'm not sure how limited you are.

Motion blur can be a good thing. And I think you did a very nice job with it, especially on the 3rd shot.

I do use a P&S (for now), and i can change the ISO, but I really didn't think of it at the time. ISO was set to 100 all day. thanks for the comment
