Just back from a stag weekend at Celtic Manor in Wales, venue of the 2010 Ryder Cup. Stunning scenery and even a non-golfer like could appreciate the difficulty of the course. Some shots then:

You could have popped in and said hello. I live about 2 miles down the road from the Celtic Manor. Nice shots though ;)

Nice shots! I always find the metering quite difficult because the grass is very easy to overexpose! Looked like you had a great day!

Great pictures Radiohead. Having just taken up golf, it's the main cause for me not having taken a picture in the last 2 months!

Damn, I thought these would be 85mm 1.2L shots ... but nope, just lowly 70-200mm ones. Oh well.

Nice shots - especially like the use of DoF ... but let's get down to business ... what did you shoot? :D

cracking shots. I love the first one as an arty shot. Guy chipping out of the bunker was great timing too!

Nice shots but any chance you could post some higher res ones, I can barely see those thumbnails.

A buggy - I don't play anyway, and with a recently disclocated shoulder I wouldn't have anyway!

Pity I was hoping to uncover a fellow non-golfer who enjoys the very odd round :D
