Dubai Desert Classic 2011.

It has been a hectic week photographing the Dubai Desert Classic Tournament. I was working on assignment for ISM (International Sports Management), http://www.sportism.net/
I photographed all their 17 European Players that were participating in the tournament, such as The World Number One Golfer, Lee Westwood, Darren Clarke, Rory McIlroy, James Kingston, Fredrik Andersson Hed to name just a few.

It was great fun to work alongside all the sport photographers that were there photographing for different stock agencies like Getty and newspapers.

I thought this looked a bit funny. Lee Westwood and Tiger Woods are both checking out thier putting lines.
I captured this on my way to the car after a long day at the golf.
It was great sunny weather all through the week, although some wind made the course a bit tricky at times for the players. These palm trees on hole 17 in particular put more than one golfer in a pickle.
To show you how close the media are to the players and they still have to perform.

  1. Thank you. It is great to photograph a sport that you also love to play. I guess it helps at times to know the game to see images that will come next so that you are prepared.
