June 14th was a day filled with community spirit and charitable giving at the Dainton Golf Course<\/a> in Ipplepen, Devon. I had the privilege of photographing a charity golf tournament organised by Co Create Architects<\/a> to support the Children\u2019s Hospice South West<\/a>. Let’s find out how the day went…<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

A Cloudy Start<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The day began under a thick blanket of clouds, with the threat of rain looming. Upon arrival, I made my way to the lounge area to find the organiser, Alistair. Inside, the atmosphere was warm and inviting. My work began with some indoor shots, capturing the initial buzz and excitement of the participants gathering. A bacon roll and a lovely coffee soon followed \u2013 a perfect start to fuel a long day ahead.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On the Greens<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

With my stomach content and my energy levels up, I ventured outside to find golfers practising their putting. The clouds provided a soft, diffused light, ideal for the initial photos. The golfers, focused and enthusiastic, were keen to start the day\u2019s activities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I then made my way to the first tee to capture the first group teeing off. Despite a light drizzle, spirits were high, and the soft light enhanced the mood of my photographs, adding a gentle, natural touch to the scenes.<\/p>\n\n\n
