A Windy Monterey Peninsula Golf Round with Friends Visiting from Georgia

When Lindsey first contacted me about Monterey peninsula golf photography for her husband Travis, and his friend JT, no one would have been able to guess the unbelievable weather that day! I was worried about rain in the days leading up to it, so never thought to check the wind. Only a few rain drops on the 18th hole, thankfully, but the wind! It was hard to walk against it when it gusted, and was at 30mph+ sustained nearly every hole. Despite this challenge, Travis and JT still played well and I was able to make the same range and quality of golf photography shot I was able to just one day earlier when I was also on the course with another client and the weather was absolutely perfect! So you'd never know from looking at the photos they were playing in essentially tropical storm level winds. As you can see in the one photo gallery below, their spirits remained up and it was still ultimately a great round out on this special golf course. And if they ended up in sand traps a few more times than they would have, that just made for more dramatic photos like the one above! Thank you to Lindsey for finding and choosing me as the golf photographer for Travis and JT, all of them visiting from Georgia!
