The Quail Hollow Championship in Charlotte has grown into one of the premier stops on the PGA Tour and I spent last week documenting the event for tournament officials.
With the exception of Saturday when I photographed a beautiful wedding here in Charlotte, I spent most of my waking hours at the south Charlotte golf course.
With Tiger Woods in the field again this year the crowds were large and the weather worked out well with very little rain all week.
I’m glad to be associated with such a top-notch event and it seems no detail is too small as officials pull out all the stops to make the tournament successful.
It was good to catch up with old friends and to see some great golf action.
Be sure to check back later in the week for some images from Kelsey and Connor’s wedding.
