Golfers

In Scotland, we have Golf Courses. They are everywhere. Some are private, some are expensive, some are municipal and a very few are public.
All have one thing in common - passionate, funny, crazy, emotional users. On any day of the week. On every day of the week!
And usually they make very good photography subjects.
I had some spare time yesterday so I thought I would give my camera a scare and take it out of the bag and use it.

I shot about 50 or so pictures and here are three I thought were worth sharing:


When I played golf, I had the uncanny ability to find the only piece of "rough" in a green sea of fairways. These guys just reminded me of that!


And this guy looks like he is trying to send this ball into the middle of next week... (it ended up in the bunker!)


Well, what can I say? Just because I was looking for golfers was no reason not to snap this guy in fighting position!

Yesterday was the first time I had been out for a while, and I once again found that "absence makes the heart grow fonder" - meaning a break now and then can be a good thing!

Thanks for listening.

How long!?

Wow! Coming up on two months since I wrote anything in this blog.

I'll bet no-one missed me ;-)

Lots of changes have been happening in my personal life - since I had a month off from work in January, to be precise.

During that month (off on sick leave for a very bad leg condition) I spent much more time with my wife than at any other time in our 33 years of marriage - either I was working or she was working, and we never spent this much time together - ever.
My wife is not currently employed ( I will not say "doesn't work" because keeping a house is hard work!) and suffers from arthritis. How badly, I only just appreciated in that month off.
Long story short, my working hours are soon to be drastically reduced. While this will mean a dramatic reduction in income, I am hoping it will lead to a better quality of life for my wife (and me!).

So in about a month or so, you might see an increase in activity in this site, and perhaps the Project 52 and Project 12 can be resurrected from the deep, deep, deep hibernation they are in - for which you (the one subscriber I had) have my apologies.
Some times "real life" just gets in the way....
