Overland Park Arboretum 2010 Golf Tournament

Yesterday was a day of firsts for me - my first time on a golf course and my first time photographing a golf event.  Luckily, I was shepherded around the golf course by a very knowledgeable golfer.  Had he not given me expert guidance, I have no doubt I would have annoyed many golfers with my etiquette failures.

It was a beautiful fall day in Kansas, clear blue sky (challenging for photos due to the high contrast), high 70's and just a little wind.  The course was lovely - a city course owned by Overland Park, Kansas.

To top the day off, my sister won a nice tv in the raffle.  I had hoped to win the iPad, but no such luck.  But, at the live auction of sports memorabilia,  I did snag a signed George Brett baseball bat for Bob, who was also a volunteer photographer at the event.  He was thrilled.

The pup, so cute and engaging, was a rescue dog looking for a new home and, happily found one with one of the golfers.

Here are a few photos from the day, including some of the superb food that was served.
