So, I’ve been going through pictures that my wife and I have taken over the last… 5 years or so. In some cases, the pictures go further back. You know, it’s hard to fathom where time has gone. We’ve seen pictures from trips up north with our two children when they were really small (we’re grandparents now… two times over) and of course pictures that are more recent like from the 2019 PGA Show.
Some of the shots that we’ve uncovered have been shots of golf courses that I nearly forgot about (or totally for that matter). So, I’ve been doing some experimenting with them. Like an artist, I’m trying to get a look that I’m after with Photoshop or similar. More often than not I’m not pleased with them and I don’t see what my vision wants. Oh, the life of a temperamental artist.
I’m going to start posting a little more golf photography… or shall I say course photography? I’m a total amateur so take it easy on me. Here are the first few shots. Golf courses really are all masterpieces if you stop for a moment and take a look around.

It’s always good to look back… But looking forward is much better.A real nice historic muni. I loved this hole. Hole #3 Azalea Course at Cleveland Heights Golf Course. Lakeland, FloridaGolf courses really are a work of art.
I've nearly done it all in the golf industry. From my beginnings as a Marshall, to becoming an Associate Professional. I climbed the ranks through being hardworking and hard-nosed and eventually became a Director of Golf. I've fought, scratched, and clawed for every opportunity. I've also played on Mini (Developmental) Tour's and in U.S. Open Qualifying.
I became interested in golf after a chance meeting of Mr. Arnold Palmer when he was in Hamilton, Ontario for the PGA Canadian Senior Open in 1996. Little did I know that this beautiful game would consume me and develop into one of my passions.
When I'm not writing, talking about, or playing golf I can be found with my Black Lab, outdoors, on a stream fly fishing, or playing guitar.
