Snowy Backdrop in Golfers Paradise

Arroyo Course - Hole #9

My wife and I were vacationing in Palm Desert, California in February of this year. One morning after an unusually heavy overnight snowfall in the mountains, I grabbed the camera to catch the vivid greens of the manicured golf course contrasted with the snowy background.

The golf pro saw me taking pictures and wanted me to do some for his website. I ended up spending about two days taking various shots and the end result was I now have my golf course prints being sold in his Pro Shop, along with a Note Card line I developed for his two eighteen hole courses featuring the best shots taken over those two days.

This gave me the idea to approach other courses with a similar offer and the idea has proven very popular. Now I combine my winter vacations with a little work life is great!
