The Open Golf Championship, Royal Liverpool Golf Club

They don't allow cameras.

Not even 46 year old quiet ones without flash...

(Actually, it's fair enough. These golfers are there to make a living and if they were disturbed by a hundred big Canons and a thousand chimping flashes at a crucial putt, you can see the problem...)

Oh well, I will just have to watch the golf, rather than shoot the crowds when I go on Friday

Andy -

You've achieved a new height in intentional photographic minimalism, and I salute your achievement.

There would be so many cameras if they allowed them and many people don't know how to switch off the flash. I'm going on Saturday - when rain is forecast !

I will shoot some ( on the television screen ) from my chair on Sunday

Point of order Mr Chairman. Golf is not a sport, it is a pastime!
On second thoughts, it is a waste of time.

Having said that, yours is the most interesting photo of golf that I have ever seen; please post more.

Pete.

Who was it who said that golf was a perect way of ruining a walk - or something similar to that
