The trees seeem to be the subject of the photo, as opposed to a the post-event sproting activity/venue, what have you. Sky at the top is blown out and I find that distracting, and i see no effort at any composition - no rule of thirds, no leading lines, no center of interest, no use of color, nothing.
I always thought the "19th hole" was the clubhouse (but I'm not a golfer so maybe not). I like your choice of venue. I like how the darker grass leads the eye to the green but think a tighter crop on the bottom would make the picture more compelling (and cut out some of the empty sky too) making a much more horizontal image. I'd like to see it with it cropped on the left just left of the tree line (so that the slope up to the green really grabs your eye and the tree line also would help to move your eye left to right with the open space on the right). You have some nice clouds on that right side to give the open space more impact.
While I understand that this is a golf course, there is so much other stuff going on (the trees, the poles in the far background) that it just doesn't appeal to me.
I like the colors and the softness of the trees in this shot. The sky is a bit blown out, although I don't know how to have corrected it w/o violating Basic rules. If it were me, I would have cropped out the partial tree on the left, though. Nice picture!
Wonderful, rich colours, and extra interest added by the fall leaves and clouds. Personally, I'd have tried a bit tighter crop to remove the branch and pole on the left and a bit of the brightest sky, and maybe just TO the lone tree at right to balance the changes? JMO, of course :)
I don't know very well the golf rules but I can't see the post game in this image, the title for me is misterious(what means?). On the photo, the tree on the left is distracting perhaps with another cut you can obtain a better image.
