Golf Day at Mentmore


After covering a friend's annual golf day last year in celebration of his 40th birthday, it was a case of "the same again" with another visit to Mentmore Golf Club for his 41st birthday.

Now, I'm not really in to golf...I don't dislike it, but I don't really pay much attention to it on the TV or in the news, and the very few times I have actually picked up and swung a golf club, the results haven't been good, so I have decided that perhaps golf isn't for me?

So when it comes to my friend's golf day, I'm more than happy to attend for the purpose of taking 'shots' with my camera and not a golf club! Having hired a nifty little electric golf buggy, I zoomed about the lovely green course from hole to hole, capturing each group of players as they smashed balls miles down the fairway, read the contours of the green and searched for stray balls in the undergrowth.

The end result is a short video montage of the images, animated to music and playable through a DVD player. If you were a player that took part in the golf day, the video is available as from now, so please feel free to contact me for details.
