It was a foggy day here in the Sacramento valley, but when given a day off, take advantage of it! My brother and I headed up to a course we hadn't played before, The Ridge, in Auburn, CA. We climbed up through the fog and low overcast to be welcomed by the sun and, what we hoped, would be a great round of golf.

Well as the golf gods usually do, the round was challenging with sun, fog, mist, wind and a wet course. We had fun and it gave us a chance to take some shots of our round...


1. this was a 1/60s shot with my 5D and a 70-200 f/4. doing the math, the ball is going 90mph in the pic. this was my favorite shot

2. the view down the fairway of the 14th

3. 10 min after we were in the sun the fog rolled in and we were left with this scenery. i converted it to b&w for a more "haunting" look

4. the course was so wet that my 7 iron plugged just short of the green after a 160y approach shot

5. a shot of where my brother spent most of the day. his out got him to within 3 feet of the cup!

First thing that's wrong....you're using a TOP FLITE???? j/k
1-Not sure but something about the pic bothers me. Since you caught all of the action on it there seems to be no real focal point of the pic, plus with that his legs are super blurry. But I do understand what you were trying to go for.
2-Nice shot but the tree is a bit distracting. If you were trying to go for a 'down the fairway' shot you should have done so from the tee box.
3-Actually my second fav shot (considering it really has nothing to do with golf). Nice eerie feel to it.
4-Know the feeling all too well, esp when I was living up in Washington State.
5-Fav shot. Love the splashing of the sand (although he rotated his hands over instead of keeping his face open) :P

Good series though. Love anything having to do with golf.
