Golf is back in Michigan!

The winter that we had, or lack there of, was very mild compared to most winters here in Michigan. When we had record breaking temps back in March I was able to get my first round of golf under my belt for the year. Today, I was able to photograph my first golf tournament of the year, which was the Oakland Community College Invitational. Being the athletic photographer at Oakland CC I have photographed this tournament the previous two years and those two years consisted of golf, rain, snow, and some more rain. Not the most enjoyable weather. However, today was awesome! Sun, more sun, and even more sun made for a really enjoyable time and some nice light. Here are some pictures. They are all black and white but were shot in color and converted. Also, be sure to see who got a little hungry during the tournament. Hope you enjoy!
NCAA DII Women’s Golf Championship
Last week I headed over to Grand Valley State University in Allendale, MI. GVSU was the host of the 2011 NCAA Division II Women’s Golf Championship. I had the opportunity to cover one day of the tournament for Grand Canyon University. GCU’s Tiffany Hewetson from Brighton, England was in the individual tournament. While shooting for GCU, I was approached by Upper Iowa University. So, in the end I had two schools. Here are a few photos from the day.
Oakland CC Invitational
Golf is one of the sports that I enjoy photographing the most even if it is raining the whole time and the temperature is only in the low 40′s. This was the case for the Oakland CC Invitational at Pontiac Country Club. You have to love Michigan weather!
Sports Photos of 2010
It is that time of year again. I’m looking back at the past year, thinking of all the good things and the things that need to be worked on in the upcoming year. I have been blessed that once again, my photography opportunities have grown in the past year. I can only hope that this time next year I can say the same thing.
This past year I became the head athletic photographer for my school, and I launched a wedding website dedicated to my wedding photography. I was fortunate enough to photograph some weddings this past year, and I look forward to the weddings I have booked in the upcoming year. Here are a few pictures from 2010. Read More
Oakland CC Invitational
I was able to photograph the Oakland CC Invitational today. As luck would have it, it happened to be the coldest day of the week. It was cold enough for snow, and there was for sure snow. There were only a couple of minutes of sunlight before the clouds came overhead. With the couple of minutes of sunlight I had before the round started, I was able to get the above picture of an Oakland golfer on the driving range.
Buick Open 2009
Spending almost ten years of my life living just minutes away from the golf course where the Buick Open took place was cool as a young kid who liked golf. You had the hope that Tiger Woods would show up at the ice cream shop Ziggy’s, or maybe a restaurant for dinner. He did show up sometimes, but I never saw him anywhere. Tuesday was family day at the Buick Open. They had golfers put on a show. One year I won golf balls. It was a very fun week for me.
