Hi guys,
I’ve been shooting and posting photos during our events this year. I enjoy doing it and I’ve gotten some positive feedback about the slideshows. (There has been some dissent however, with a small, but growing grass roots movement to suspend the posting of images of Dennis Van Norman. That motion will be taken up with the Board of Governors in a special session. )
Since I am only one guy playing in one group, the representation of player photos has not been equitable. I have informally been asking members to take a few pictures once in a while so we can get everyone’s picture on the website a few times.
In the last couple of events, Chris Drummond has stepped up and submitted some pics of the other players in his group. It’s been great having participation from someone other than me. I heartily thank him for that. Mark Bryden also sent some photos earlier in the season. Thanks also to Mark.
Our Club Championship is this weekend. It’s our biggest event of the year, and some of the players have never been featured on the website. So I’m asking if you’ll consider shooting a couple of pictures of the players in your group and email them to me. PLEASE don’t interfere with play or breach any etiquette. These don’t have to be “action shots”, just casual photos. And don’t do anything that affects your own concentration or pace of play. One other thing to consider is that we ARE still social distancing on the course, so I try not to post anything that shows players too close together.
I think the photos are one small thing we can do this year to become a little more familiar with each other even when we can’t gather together as a group in person. I hope you agree.
Thanks, and good luck and good golf to all of you.
