To George and back
I picked up a few of Golf days for a client and decided to do two of them myself. The one in Cape Town was easy enough but the drive to George can be really boring. So I decided to take the long route. Headed off up the N2 and then turned left up the Tradouw Pass. It was a strange day, not really sure if it wanted to rain or not but luckily the sun kept coming through. I went past Barrydale and then took the R327 to Van Wyksdorp, an awesome road and great fun in the Landy.
The next day in George it poured with rain. Took some Gv’s of the course and the four ball pics but wanted to do something different so asked the guys to pose in a silly way. Everyone was game for a laugh and we got some different pics for a change.
Golf days should be fun and the pics should reflect that. Enough of the boring group with their drivers.

Hi Ron
Great blog, very valuable. Your comments on deadlines, captions, etc has given me some food for thought.
Question on the above as I recently had a similar problem … I know Spur wants to be in all the pics but the background distracts, how does one handle this. I have requested a ‘client’ to provide a proper background else I’m not shooting. With a bad backdrop, I can have great poses but crappy photos. What’s best way to approach this problem?
Cheers
Carl
