We’re now well into the swing of the golf season. Around this time of year I often see posts on both Golf and Photography message boards around the internet from people wanting to take their camera out to a PGA Tour event.
So with the US Open being played at Congressional this week, I thought I would write a guide to photographing golf tournaments (I’m specifically talking about PGA Tour events here, but most of this is transferable to almost any golf event). Now I don’t claim to be an expert, but I have been involved in photography for almost 15 years and have had the opportunity to photograph several PGA Tour events from inside the ropes.
I know that I’ve enjoyed my time photographing PGA Tour pros, and I’ve learned quite a lot from knowledgeable people that were willing to take the time to help me out. So hopefully I can pay a bit of that forward to others.
