TOWN AND COUNTRY, Mo. — Golf is a game of energy, motion and speed — three qualities that are hard to capture with a camera. Nonetheless, I spent the first couple of days of the P.G.A. Championship at Bellerive Country Club outside St. Louis trying to do just that.
The strength and speed with which the golfers hit the ball seem to increase each year. It’s hard to capture that in still photos and with the restrictions placed on photographers covering the PGA Tour.
So I took a silent, mirrorless camera with me this year, and I was free to capture golf at any given moment on the course, without any fear of distracting the players with the sound of my camera shutter.
