Great timing. The sand is still in the air. You can play with the shutter speed here. I think a slower shutter speed will catch the swing nicely.

And I agree with Milla about the dog.

You've got yourself a great photo of a young, up and coming PGA star.

Wish my divots looked like that!

Where was the photo taken if I may ask?

Great shot. I think I'd enjoy shooting golf (I enjoy shooting any sports) although I know nothing really about the game.

And to prove that I have a question: It looks like the ball he hit is just off the ground out in front of him, I thought when they hit the ball it goes more vertically than horizontally. Or was that a bad drive?

Then again, what do I know... lol

Nice action shot. I'd consider cropping out the bag/dog side and the same amount on the other side, making more of a portrait orientation. Is that another golf ball in front of him, or perhaps it's the Men's tee-box marker and your subject is at the Pro's tee-box? Either way, I'd clone it out and perhaps brighten/sharpen up the ball in the air. Thanks for sharing.

If thats the ball above his head, then what is the ball directly in front of him? Is that someone elses ball? It looks to be off the ground a bit.
