 Not sure how this will do. I think it is a well done photo but it is a rather boring golf shot and doesn't have a wow factor and it isn't a difficult shot to get so if it breaks a 6 I will be happy.

Thanks everyone for the score and the great comments. This was a pleasant surprise as usually golf shots historically haven't finished well in the sports challenges.

This was one of my 9s, great color and motion, everything where it should be. Perfect timing! Actually thought this might be Bear's :).

I enjoyed this one very much. The reversal of colors(green/brown) from the golfer and surroundings make it an easy image to enjoy.

I like this very much. There's something quietly special about it, maybe just the tension in the twisted clothes and the orb of the receding ball. I gave it a 9. Good work!

Very good shot - you have the golfer, the action, the ball, and the pin, all in the shot. Not so simple! It definitely resonates with golfers.

The detail, dof, lighting, are just GREAT... What kind of a club is this? Not a goofer myself, it looks flat to me. VERY Good I have two top shots and this is one of them!

This is a nice shot. Interesting how the focus really falls off very fast over that first ridge.

Wonderful. Being able to get the ball in this shot must have been extremely hard, but it pays off.
