On the Beach!

[stevegreen]

Well, as I am well over 60 miles inland I had to come up with a different interpretation of this months theme just to get any kind of shot.

Took this today whilst out walking round a local golf course, had to wait by a par 3 and talk nicely to two players who let me take a few shots, most of them were crap, but having zoomed about a bit to find a decent crop section I came up with this.

I used to watch quite a lot of American golf on the TV, anfd they had certain phrases that they used a lot, one of which was 'He's on the beach with that shot' in that usual, almost derisary American accent.

This has been cropped from a larger picture, colour adjusted a little and a small sharpen to make the sand more defined. Added a little border too.

I was going to inbed the image but have not really sorted out webspace yet. Shame because the compression has blurred it a bit :(

The joy of Telfords finest pay and play golf course in Horsehay by far.

Wonder why i've not played there yet :laugh:

That has to be one of the worst looking bunkers I've ever seen, just look at the stones and rubbish top left :lesson:
Have to admit I've never been big on golf, used to have a knock around when I was younger but with 9 holes consisting of 10 minutes of hitting the ball followed by a couple of hours trying to locate it the fascination wore of very quickly :boring:
Pity there were people around Steve as I think the addition of a sandcastle would have helped the composition no end :grin:

I agree about the sandcastle to be honest. I was trying to convince Lorna to get her bikini out and pose in the bunker, but the old fellows playing golf would have had a heart attack! :laugh:

I've never had a go at the golf, but i've played in sand.

was pretty good at it:laugh:
