I had a great time yesterday at the Web.com Tour’s Utah Championship following around the Andres Gonzales group. Andres is an up and comer with some great marketability and even better game.

To see more pictures of Andres and other shots I’ve posted a gallery of images from the 2012 Utah Championship for you to enjoy.
This is a great HOG World Tour stop today. I’m getting in the HOG tour van, newly equipped with brand new tires, and driving about five minutes to Willow Creek Country Club and the Web.com Tour’s Utah Championship. I’ll be there shooting photos and checking out all the up and coming players who are working their way up to the PGA Tour.
Andres Gonzales tees off in 15 minutes. I’ll be sure to catch him for a few holes and see what the fuss is about.

Yesterday I had a serious time crunch. Since I’d had a tire blow out on the freeway en route to the USGA Amateur Publinks Championship. I was left with only 30 minutes of photo shooting time on my HOG World Tour stop at Rees Jones designed Victory Ranch Club. That may have been the most breathtaking 30 minutes ever, except for that time with the groupies from my old rock band. The skies were gray and light was flat, but I still managed to get a few decent shots of the course. I intend to get back during some better light for better shots and of course, a round of golf on this stunning track.
Victory Ranch Club – click to expand
Victory Ranch Club is near Jordanelle Reservoir, about 20 minutes from Park City, Utah. From the highest point on the course, the 17th tee, you can see for miles in all directions. The shaping of these fairways, views, elevation chance and contrasts between the course and the landscape are amazing.
