I've been covering golf for over 10 years now. I've photographed in near freezing temperatures, in blazing heat hot and torrential downpours.
During the 2008 Women's Golf Championship in Albuquerque, NM, I got to shoot in 50 mph winds. Let me tell you, that's no fun. Your 400mm lens is like a sail. It's tough to keep it steady.
This was the first tournament I've ever covered that's been delayed by high winds. The wind was so bad the balls were literally being blown off the greens.
Throw in a couple of rain delays, a playoff and finish in near darkness. What a fun week!
