Good job getting a sport not normally considered a team sport into the challenge. :) Great DOF, and I like the way you have the golf ball positioned. I might have cleaned the pin, then again, I might not have. :) Very nice, 8
I can just hear the foursome behind you while you set up this shot. Nicely done, but a touch more DOF would have made me enjoy the feeling of being on the green a bit more.
I was wondering how many golf shots would be here.
I like the use of the Ryder Cup ball (team) but think you shold have realigned the image to straighten the pin and removed the brown grass?
I'd love to give this shot a 'four' but I can't (6)
The "Ryder cup" image on the ball adds that little bit of extra feeling of quality / pro event, even if it was shot at the local golfcourse. Like the composition and choice of aperture. I think golf is a teamsport, because for many players the caddy gives advice etc.
Not what I would consider a team sport normally, but a very nice shot! My only real complaint is the placement of the ball. Putting the Ryder Cup logo to the front to me seems a little like bragging. Having the Titleist logo to the front and the Ryder Cup logo subdued wouldn't have looked so staged.... OK I'm being picky....

i looooove this shot-beautiful dof and nice sharp close up focus--brilliant job-almost perfect for this challenge!! (however golf isn;t tooooo much of a team sport)--7
Composition isn't especially compelling for me, but great detail on the ball. Would have liked this shot better with the pices of dirt removed and a cleaner pole since I find those elements in the pic distracting.
I almost scored you lower for not meeting the challenge. That was until I saw the ryder cup ball. I hope everyone gets this. The Photo itself is done well and definately meets the challenge.

I was going to say that golf is generally not a team sport, but then I notice you used a Ryder Cup ball, so I guess it qualifies. :-) Good use/control of the depth of field.
Golf is rarely a team sport, right? I mean, it's individual against individual. I clearly get this image of golf without the players though. The DOF is great to keep you focused on what is important: The ball, hole, and pin.
