This past Saturday marked the date of this years Annual Scholarship Golf Tournament for my Lodge. I was designated the official event photographer which required me to step foot on my first ever golf course. It should be known that I don’t play golf, or have any interest in said activity. This aside, I found two things that will make me love golf unconditionally from this day forward: the golf cart and the acceptable early morning drinking of beer.
It is true that the golf carts don’t obtain record speeds, but those little windy cart paths they expect you to ride on are just begging for some daredevil action. I was able to get my cart on two wheels on numerous occasions as well as laid plenty of rubber down. Good times!
Below is a small (and I do mean small) sampling of some photos which I took of the course and event. I arrived just before the sun came up, which provided some nice photo opportunities.

I love the photography. It looks like a beautiful course.
I played golf once. I remember that a girl would ride around on a cart and sell beer to us every 15 minutes or so. I saw her several times that day…..but I don’t remember much after that.
I still don’t know where I left my clubs.

Are you using a D70 ?

That is correct, sir. Was this a lucky guess or had we talked about this before? I remember a while back you were looking a couple different DSLR’s.

I probably noticed that on your photo blog.
I have the D50 right now and I love it. I got it right before they discontinued that model and it was a great value.
I see you’re getting into HDR. I need to try that soon.
