Nationwide Golf

Nationwide Tour money leader Michael Sim grimaces after narrowly missing an eagle before sinking a birdie putt on the 18th green to tie a course record 9-under par at the final round of the Nationwide Tour's Athens Regional Foundation Classic at Jennings Mill Country Club on Sunday, April 19, 2009 in Bogart, Ga.

Any photographer worth their salt can make a decent golf photo. Its all about being quiet, positioning, being quiet, pushing the button and being quiet and a little luck on 18.

So after 5 days of this earlier this month, fighting fire ants and the sarlac monster and sunburn, i made some nice-ish photos. Nothing amazing in my book, but it was interesting being the only person shooting the tournament from my paper.
