This weekend we had 2 events here.  On Saturday was the annual CANSA Golf Day which is held to raise funds for the CANSA association.  The Troupant Golf Club stayed here for the weekend as they were having their annual winter championships.  They are a “virtual club” and compete against each other as couples.

There really is not very much that one can do to be creative when photographing golfers, so I decided to rather try and get some shots that were not the norm.

This poor man never looked particularly impressed when his wife insisted on rubbing sunscreen into his face for him and she did it both days

I was quite fascinated when I saw where this lady kept her pegs – something I had not seen before

This lady was ALWAYS smiling or laughing and she does have such a beautiful smile

I do not have a long zoom lens, so I was using my 24-105 and zooming to the max to get these shots. In order to get this close I had to actually physically be close. Not a good thing when photographing amateur golfers. When this lady tee-ed off her shot narrowly missed me and she was mortified. It is rather dangerous when you consider what could have gone wrong, but oh so worth it to get these shots of her.  (hint – maybe someone who loves me and reads this post will buy me the 70-200 lens I so desire? )
