Last summer, I was hired for my first photography gig! Lynne's husband organized a scholarship fundraiser golf outing, and he asked if I could come take pictures. So, this girl who knows NOTHING about golf, showed up on a golf course, tooled around in a cart with Lynne, and
had a blast!
I must have done a decent job with the pictures, because I was invited back for round two!
The golf outing started
immediately after the parade Lynne and I were in that morning, so after swinging through the McDonald's drive thru for an iced tea, Ryan and I scurried to the golf club
...and I changed in the women's bathroom, grabbed my camera, and headed out to take pictures!
Speaking of camera...I brought my old one and my new one with me just in case there were any malfunctions. I have to tell you...being a two-camera photographer made me feel like the real deal!
They had a bunch of memorabilia scrapbooks there...with years and years of the school's track/cross country history. Very cool.
A sweet silent auction was all set up!
And lunch for everyone!!
The golf cars were lined up...ready to go!
Lynne worked the registration table, and look who jumped in to help her??? That Ryan...he's pretty wonderful.
After everyone got all signed in and had tummies full of lunch, it was time for the game to begin! My handsome, handsome golf cart driver:
Yours truly, expecting some serious heat - but not nearly as much as last year!
The Shafferland photographers!
Cart #2...the first one didn't work.
Remember
on our honeymoon, when we rented the tandem bike and Ryan ran around ringing the bell and shouting hello? We decided to make a version of that for when we ran into Lynne delivering water on the course!
We drove all over the course, getting photos of the guys in action and also group pictures of each of the tourney groups. While we waited on them...we did some selfies.
Ryan took pictures of me taking pictures.
He's so good. :)
We spent about 3 hours out on the course taking pictures, driving around, and having a great time, and when we were done, we headed straight to Starbucks to cash in the free drinks that showed up on our apps!!!
And that's the game of golf...Shaffer style!

You are a great photographer, Bekah! And just wanted to let you know that you're looking very slim these days!!
Bless you, Tia!! I'm sure it's just good camera angles and some good sucking in, but I so appreciate it. You made my day!
Well I was going to mention it a couple of posts ago and then I didn't because I didn't know if it would translate wrong through typed text. But then when I saw these pictures of you at the parade and the golf outing, I just had to tell you that you look great!
Well thank you so much for saying something! It was wonderful to read!
That is about the only way I might enjoy (real) golf. As opposed to mini golf! And those are some awesome pictures you've posted. Great job!
