Golf is a sport I don’t get to shoot very often. In fact, today was only the second time I have ever shot it. My first time was at the Greater Hickory Classic Seniors Tournament last August. Today’s assignment was a local high school conference tournament at the Rock Barn course. I’m so used to the fast-paced action of the other sports I shoot. This is quite different. Golf isn’t so fast-paced. I think the above photo goes a long way to promote golf as a thinking-man’s (woman/person/whatthehellever) sport. I found it rather relaxing though. Well… all except the part where I had to haul my fat ass back up to where I started. I followed a group of golfers through a few holes and I didn’t even notice that it was down hill all the way. It was up hill all the way back :)

First tip in covering golf, other than use long glass, is to first find someone with a name tag or someone with a golf cart. If you’re really good you’ll smooth talk your way into your own cart. Next time you’re at Rock Barn ask for Jeff Isenhower (spelling?) He’s the pro or poke your head into the tournament office and ask for Jim or Sarah. They might be able to help you out….tell them you are with the Record and that might help even more….
Good luck homie!
